초록

괴사성 근막염은 급격히 진행되는 심부 연 조직 감염으로 주로 면역 저하나 당뇨를 앓고 있는 성인에서 발병하나 드물게 신생아에서도 생길 수 있으며, 감염 초기에 괴사 조직을 제거하는 수술을 포함한 적절한 치료가 이루어지지 않으면 사망에 이르는 매우 위험한 질환이다. 그러나 증상과 이학적 소견이 비특이적이고 매우 드물게 발생하므로 때로는 진단과 치료가 늦어지기도 한다. 그러므로, 피부 또는 피하 조직 감염 소견을 보이는 모든 환아에게서 항상 심부 조직 감염의 가능성을 염두에 두고 진단적, 치료적 접근이 이루어져야 하겠다. 저자는 생후 7일째인 건강한 만삭 신생아에서 특별한 선행 요인 없이 지역 획득 메티실린 내성 황색포도상 구균에 의해 발생한 괴사성 근막염을 경험하였기에 보고하는 바이다.

Necrotizing fasciitis is a rare, but life-threatening infection. Prompt diagnosis and early aggressive intervention is required for survival. However, there has been frequently occurred in delays of diagnosis and treatment due to its non-specific nature. Therefore, a high index of suspicion is needed to ensure timely intervention. We report a case of necrotizing fasciitis in a 7-day-old term healthy neonate.
