SARS-COV-2 Positive Patient with Fournier’s Gangrene and Multiorgan Complications

Fournier gangrene is a rare type of necrotizing fasciitis the genital or anorectal region that rapidly progresses towards diffuse tissue necrosis and mortality if untreated. As seen in this case, disease difficult to diagnose its early stages due lack pathognomonic signs differentiate it from localized scrotal abscess, cellulitis, pyoderma gangrenosum, orchitis. These initial findings Fournier’s make rapid diagnosis difficult, thus we recommend low threshold for further workup based on exam clinical suspicion. Emergent imaging modalities cultures can aid but should not delay surgical debridement broad-spectrum antibiotics -the gold standard treatment gangrene. This case also presents possible correlations between SARS-CoV-2 gangrene, research must be conducted delineate course management patients with
