| Résumé: | A 59-year-old man was admitted to our hospital complaining of perineal pain and scrotal redness. He was diagnosed with diabetes mellitus 12-years ago but had not received treatment. The scrotum soon showed necrosis and pus discharge. A culture study revealed Clostridium, Bacteroides and many other bacteria. Antibiotics chemotherapy (CMZ, AMK, MINO) was done but because necrotizing fasciitis progressed, we performed surgical treatment of necrosis. The skin defect was closed naturally with wound irrigation. The patient is doing well and his diabetes is under control. We found 13 other cases of Fournier's gangrene in the Japanese literature and their age, culture study and complications are discussed |
