ENGLISH ABSTRACT
JOURNAL ARTICLE
[Necrotizing fasciitis of the eyelids and toxic shock syndrome due to Streptococcus pyogenes].
Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a serious infection that compromises subcutaneous tissue, fascia, and adipose tissue, with high mortality rate and sequelae. Extremities, trunk and pelvis are the most common body sites affected. Periorbital celullitis with necrotizing fasciitis of the eyelid is rare. We report the case of a three years oíd child with bilateral NF of the eyelids and toxic shock syndrome secondary to Streptococcus pyogenes infection occurring after a minor skin trauma. Early recognition leading to intensive care treatment and prompt surgical debridement were critical in the favourable outcome of the child.
