Introduction: Varicella infection is a vaccine-preventable infection, which can result in different complications. Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) as a skin and soft tissue infection is a rare complication of varicella infection in childhood. Early diagnosis and treatment of necrotizing fasciitis can save life. Surgical debridement along with appropriate antimicrobial treatment is very common. However, some patients cannot undergo surgeries and physicians should try other options. Conclusions: Although tissue debridement is the cornerstone to treat necrotizing tissue infection, in some cases patients might benefit from adjuvant treatments such as IVIG. Although this treatment cannot be generalized to every patient, it may be concluded that physicians can save surgical options and try IVIG under close clinical observation to avoid possible multiple surgical debridement.
