Abstract
Twenty-five cases of gangrene of the scrotum and penis have been analysed. The anterior scrotum or the whole scrotum were the areas most frequently involved. The results of seminal analyses showed marked oligozoospermia during the infective period. Haemolytic streptococcus was the most common organism. The aetiology of the disease is reviewed and "infective gangrene of the scrotum and penis" is considered to be a more suitable diagnostic label than Fournier's gangrene.
