ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To analyze the clinical manifestations of three cases of cervical necrotizing fasciitis caused by klebsiella pneumoniae and to analyze the published articles concerning the relationship between invasive klebsiella syndrome and necrotizing fasciitis in Chinese Mainland.@*METHOD@#We have retrospectively analyzed three cases of cervical necrotizing fasciitis caused by klebsiella pneumoniae treated in our department between 2003 and 2012. We also reviewed the Chinese-language scientific literature included in the WanFang data by searching with the following key words necrotizing fasciitis, klebsiella pneumoniae and liver abscess.@*RESULT@#These patients recovered uneventfully without obvious complications or disseminated infection foci. Sporadic cases of invasive klebsiella syndrome were reported without necrotizing fasciitis involvement in Chinese Mainland.@*CONCLUSION@#Cervical necrotizing fasciitis caused by klebsiella pneumoniae may give rise to disseminated infection but there has been no such case report in Chinese Mainland.
