摘要
Necrotizing fasciitis of the scalp is a life-threatening condition. When Aspergillus is the infectious organism, treatment of the wound and salvage of the patient become a formidable challenge. The authors present an extremely rare case of the successful treatment of scalp necrotizing fasciitis combined with osteomyelitis of the calvarium involving Aspergillus.
