description Fournier's gangrene (FG) is a rare form of necrotizing soft tissue infection characterized by an acute, aggressive, and rapidly progressive course. In this case report, we describe advanced therapy combining critical care, surgery, pharmacotherapy, extended biochemical/cellular blood diagnostics, and post-discharge hyperbaric oxygen therapy rehabilitation. Such an intervention resulted in survival and improved health status and quality of life of the patient with FG and septic shock.
