Skin and soft tissue infections encompass a wide spectrum of inflammatory diseases of the skin, subcutaneous tissue, fascia and muscles [1]. The necrotizing soft tissue infection (NSTI) is a life threatening bacterial infection, characterized by rapid progression through deep tissue planes, resulting in necrosis, involving the scrotum, perineum, the abdominal wall, or the extremities [2]. The mortality rate is high (median mortality 32.2%). The prognosis becomes poorer in patients with comorbidities. The most frequent comorbidity in patients with necrotizing fasciitis is diabetes mellitus [2, 3].
