Abstract
Necrotizing fasciitis, a serious infection requiring prompt antibiotic and surgical therapy, previously was not associated with H. aphrophilus. A case of necrotizing fasciitis associated with methylphenidate abuse from which H. aphrophilus was isolated is reported. Surgical and antibiotic therapy based on in vitro susceptibility testing resulted in eradication of the infection.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
