RESUMEN
La gangrena de Fournier es una enfermedad amenazante para la vida, que se caracteriza por fascitis necrosante del área perineal. Afecta con mayor frecuencia a pacientes adultos con inmunosupresión y son pocos los casos reportados en la población pediátrica. El uso de fármacos anti-inflamatorios no esteroideos (AINEs) se ha asociado con fascitis necrosante, probablemente por supresión de la inmunidad durante la infección. Describimos el caso de un paciente con 6 meses de edad sin factores inmu-nosupresores, con gangrena de Fournier, probablemente asociada a la ingesta de AINEs.
ABSTRACT
Founier's gangrene is a rare but life-threatening disease characterized by necrotizing fasciitis of the perineal area. It mostly affects adult patients with an immunosuppressant factor and there are only a few cases reported in children. Use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs has been associated with necrotizing fasciitis probably because of suppressing host immunity during infection. We describe a case of a six month old infant without im-munosuppressant factors, with Founier´s gangrene probably associated with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory intake.
