Retroperitoneal Necrotizing Fasciitis Following Prolonged Physical Activity: A Case Report
This case highlights the rapid progression and complexity of managing necrotizing fasciitis and AKI in the context of rhabdomyolysis. Early recognition and aggressive management are crucial in cases of suspected necrotizing fasciitis and AKI. Patients may not initially present with cutaneous findings suggestive of necrotizing fasciitis. Early involvement of a multidisciplinary team can improve patient outcomes in complex and rapidly deteriorating patients.
