Fournier’s gangrene (FG) is a rare but still prevalent condition in the Indian population.[1] It is defined as fulminant necrotizing fasciitis of the perineum and genital region frequently due to a synergistic polymicrobial infection. It is generally seen in individuals with diabetes mellitus or immunocompromised status.[2,3]
We present a 76‑year‑old male who presented with altered sensorium, decreased oral intake, and decreased urine output of three days duration. On clinical examination, he had extensive scrotal cellulitis with abscess formation. His
blood investigations showed neutrophilic leukocytosis (total leukocyte counts of 13.5 × 109/L with 80% neutrophils) (reference range: 4.5–11 × 109/L, neutrophils: 50%–70%), azotemia with blood urea nitrogen level of 42.46 mmol/L
(reference range: 2.9–7.1 mmol/L) and serum creatinine of 406.73 µmol/L (reference range: 62–115 µmol/L), and deranged blood glucose profile. |
