Abstract
The management of a right foot necrotizing fasciitis and severe sepsis in an old diabetic patient is presented. The early and aggressive surgery, adequate antibiotherapy and correction of organic disfunction (cardio-circulatory, renal, respiratory) eliminated the vital risk and resulted in a satisfactory morpho-functional recovery of the foot.
