Description

Necrotizing Fasciitis: African-American patient with diabetes that predisposed him to rapidly 

progressive infection. Lower extremity is swollen and red, though color less apparent secondary to 

patient's natural dark pigmentation. As the infection occurs deep to the skin, the superficial findings

may be discordant with the extreme degree of illness and pain that these patients manifest.
