Article Abstract
Fournier's gangrene is a severe type of necrotizing fasciitis that affects the perineal and genital regions. Because of its rapid progression, Fournier's gangrene is associated with high mortality and morbidity rates. Surgical treatment of Fournier's gangrene requires leaving the wound open and performing multiple debridement procedures. We report a case of Fournier's gangrene caused by in a 9-year-old boy with severe autism. Because of the patient's condition, surgical treatment included thorough debridement and closure of the initial wound under general anesthesia. This case was successfully treated and the patient was discharged without infection recurrence.

Article Synopsis
- - SGLT2 inhibitors block transporters in the kidneys, which increases sodium and glucose excretion, leading to lower blood sugar levels, improved blood pressure, and weight loss.
- - These medications have shown protective effects for the heart and kidneys, reducing the risk of cardiovascular death, hospitalization due to heart failure, and progression to advanced kidney disease.
- - While SGLT2 inhibitors are generally safe and do not raise the risk of low blood sugar or acute kidney injury, they can lead to rare but serious side effects, like normoglycemic ketoacidosis and Fournier's gangrene, that require medical awareness.
