Résumé
Leclercia adecarboxylata (L. adecarboxylata) is an uncommon and often misdiagnosed cause of multiple infection types including skin and soft tissue, cholecystitis, and septicemia. It commonly afflicts immunocompromised hosts or individuals who experience trauma in aquatic environments. We present a case where this bacteria causes necrotizing fasciitis as a consequence of injecting street bought testosterone supplements. This patient was treated successfully with excisional debridement of the wound as well as a one week course of Linezolid and Bactrim.
