摘要:Necrotizing fasciitis is an uncommon disease and a soft tissue infection that spreads along fascial planes with associated inflammation and necrosis. Herein, this study reported necrotizing fasciitis as a rare complication after bone marrow transplantation (BMT) in a Iranian patient and the efficacy of early treatment in improvement it. A 28-year-old lady had known case of first relapse of Hodgkin’s lymphoma that admitted for auto-BMT in 2016. Five years ago due to abdominal-pelvic massive lymphadenopathy, she was treated with six courses of ABVD regimen combined with involved filed irradiation. Due to Hodgkin’s relapse, the patient was treated with six courses of ICE regimen and after complete remission was selected for auto-BMT. Necrotizing fasciitis was reported by MRI and the patients was treated with combination of a number of antibiotics after fasciectomy. In conclusion, necrotizing fasciitis is a rare complication of BMT, especially autologous type that drug selection and rapid surgical fasciectomy are important decisions for prevention of mortality and morbidity of this complication.
