Abstract
Necrotizing fasciitis (flesh-eating disease) is a rare but life-threatening condition. We report one case of severe necrotizing fasciitis affecting the leg at risk of being amputated due to infection, before and after treatment with medicinal plants which have empirical broad-spectrum antibiotic and anti-inflammatory properties. All the medical attempts with conventional antibiotics failed and we had to act rapidly in order to cure the infection and prevent the amputation. These results suggest that certain medicinal plants could represent a treatment option and that further studies are considered.
