Fasciíte necrosante neonatal é uma infecção necrosante aguda ameaçadora à vida de fáscia, tecidos subcutâneos e pele sobrejacente, semelhante à condição observada em adultos. É raro em neonatos, mas, ao contrário da forma adulta, tende a afetar bebês saudáveis. Ocorre após onfalite, mastite e infecção pós-operatória da ferida operatória, embora os locais precedentes de infecção nem sempre sejam encontrados. Tem sido mais comumente associada a Staphylococcus aureus do que à infecção estreptocócica. Organismos Gram-negativos também têm sido implicados. Pode causar destruição extensa do tecido e a mortalidade é alta. | |||

Neonatal necrotising fasciitis is a life-threatening acute necrotising infection of fascia, subcutaneous tissues, and overlying skin similar to the condition seen in adults. It is rare in neonates but, in contrast to the adult form, tends to affect otherwise healthy babies. It has followed omphalitis, mastitis and postoperative wound infection, though preceding sites of infection are not always found. It has more commonly been associated with Staphylococcus aureus than with streptococcal infection. Gram-negative organisms have also been implicated. It may cause extensive tissue destruction and mortality is high. | |||
