Abstract
Bacterial dermohypoderma are serious infections during pregnancy. They can put into play the maternal-fetal prognosis.The essential point is to know how to differentiate an acute non-necrotizing bacterial dermohypoderma (erysipelas), which is a frequent disease and generally evolving favorably, from an acute necosing bacterial dermohypoderma, a rare pathology but an absolute medical-surgical emergency.Necrotizing fasciitis is a medico-surgical emergency, requiring urgent resuscitation and plastic surgery advice. Treatment has several components: treatment of shock, antibiotics, early surgical treatment determining the prognosis and effective anticoagulation due to a high risk of thromboembolism. We report a rare case of necrotizing bacterial dermohypoderma in a pregnancy which was presumed at 8 months complicated by in-utero fetal death followed by maternal death.
