چکیده

Introduction: Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a rare but life-threatening soft tissue infection characterized by rapid necrosis of the fascia and surrounding tissues. It often requires prompt recognition and aggressive treatment to prevent severe outcomes. Necrotizing fasciitis can occur as a complication of various infections, including chickenpox, particularly in pediatric patients. Conclusions: This case highlights the potential role of FFP plus heparin in the management of NF complicating varicella infection in pediatric patients. The combination therapy may offer a valuable adjunctive treatment option when conventional measures are insufficient, underscoring the need for further research into its efficacy and safety in similar clinical scenarios.
