() is a Gram-negative, halophilic bacillus known for causing severe infections such as gastroenteritis, necrotizing fasciitis, and septic shock, with mortality rates exceeding 50% in high-risk individuals. Transmission occurs primarily through the consumption of contaminated seafood, exposure of open wounds to infected water, or, in rare cases, insect bites. The bacterium thrives in warm, brackish waters with high salinity levels, and its prevalence is rising due to the effects of climate change, including warming ocean temperatures and expanding coastal habitats.

Introduction: necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a rare soft tissue infection that leads to sepsis and death without an early surgical treatment. LRINEC (laboratory risk indicator for necrotizing fasciitis) scale is one of the most accepted tests for diagnosis. This study presents a retrospective evaluation of the usefulness of the LRINEC scale in the diagnosis and prognosis of NF.
