| Summary | Herein, we present a case of necrotizing fasciitis (NF) in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treated with abatacept. Cultures of the patient's leg effusion revealed group A Streptococcus. Treatment included antibiological drugs, repeat debridement, negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT), and skin grafting. This case highlights the need for suspicion of severe bacterial infection for early diagnosis and effective treatment. NF with RA can be treated effectively with repeat debridement and NPWT. |
