The aim of the work – to describe the correct method of treatment of patients with putrefactive neck abscess complicated with mediastinitis on example of case of successful treatment of the patient with complicated cervical necrotizing fasciitis and hypoergic immune response.
Necrotizing fasciitis of the neck complicated by mediastinitis is uncommon disease with high mortality rate (40–85 %). The article presents the successful
treatment of patient with progressive cervical necrotizing fasciitis and hypoergic immune response. He suffered from rheumatoid arthritis and took
glucocorticosteroids for a long time. Early surgical intervention with maximally wide opening and drainage of all damaged cellular spaces and adequate antibiotic coverage is only true treatment method.
