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.
