Necrotising fasciitis causing compartment syndrome of the forearm and septic shock due to Vibrio vulnificus: a case report.

Compartment syndrome caused by necrotising fasciitis has rarely been described. We report a case of systemic Vibrio vulnificus necrotising fasciitis presented with compartmental syndrome of the forearm and septic shock. The patient was treated with systemic antibiotic treatment and urgent surgical decompression followed by multiple necrotic tissue debridements.

The authors report three patients diagnosed with EBV associated HPCS. The first case died of a fatal EBV infection. The second and third cases had primary disease of malignant lymphoma.
