Necrotizing Fasciitis Associated With Haemophilus aphrophilus

Abstract
Necrotizing fasciitis, a serious infection requiring prompt antibiotic and surgical therapy, previously has not been associated withHaemophilus aphrophilus. We report a case of necrotizing fasciitis associated with methylphenidate abuse from whichH aphrophiluswas isolated. Surgical and antibiotic therapy based on in vitro susceptibility testing resulted in eradication of the infection. (Arch Intern Med138:1714-1715, 1978)
