Abstract

Necrotizing fasciitis is infrequently encountered but highly fatal group of infections. It is a infection of any of the three layers of soft tissue compartments which includes the dermis, subcutaneous tissue, superficial fascia,deep fascia or the muscle along with necrotising changes. During the initial stages it might be tricky to differentiate cellulitis and other infections of the superficial skin from necrotising fasciitis leading to an delay in the diagnosis. Prompt diagnosis and management can reduce mortality .This case report highlights a previously unreported presentation of necrotising fasciitis of breast in the form of leukemoid reaction encountered in the rural central India following COVID-19 infection.
