description Fournier's gangrene (FG) is a polymicrobial necrotizing fasciitis involving the external genitalia and perineal region. It preferentially affects men, with a mortality rate of approximately 40%. Early diagnosis, surgical debridement, appropriate antibiotic therapy, and hyperbaric chamber treatment increase the therapeutic success. The purpose of this clinical report was to emphasize how a multimodal treatment and the tenacity of the health professionals involved in the era of the coronavirus pandemic with considerable health and logistical difficulties can lead to the complete recovery of patients suffering from FG.
