Chest wall-necrotizing soft tissue infection caused by <i>Finegoldia magna</i> and <i>Helcococcus kunzii</i> in an immunocompromised patient: a case report

This case highlights the potential of rare organisms to cause severe necrotizing soft tissue infections in immunocompromised individuals. Rare microbiological and anatomical presentations and findings are interesting incidents that require further attention. It is important to note that, although these organisms are rare, they still pose a significant risk for the development of necrotizing soft tissue infections. By reporting such cases, we will aid in raising awareness of these organisms.

Abstract

This case highlights the potential of rare organisms to cause severe necrotizing soft tissue infections in immunocompromised individuals. Rare microbiological and anatomical presentations and findings are interesting incidents that require further attention. It is important to note that, although these organisms are rare, they still pose a significant risk for the development of necrotizing soft tissue infections. By reporting such cases, we will aid in raising awareness of these organisms.
