Abstract

Necrotizing fasciitis is an invasive, life-threatening infection of the tissues. Necrotizing fasciitis is not a commonly seen infection, making it a challenging infection for many clinicians to treat and manage due to a lack of familiarity with the disease process. Further, there is limited research and guidance available regarding nutrition care for patients recovering from necrotizing fasciitis. This article presents a case study and highlights how currently available guidelines can be critically applied by dietitians to provide appropriate nutrition care in a relatively unfamiliar patient population.
