Abstract
Fournier’s Gangrene is a rare, life-threatening infection that can rapidly progress to fatal condition if not treated promptly seen in both genders (mostly men) and children. The incidence rate in US is 1.6 in 100000 and in India is 1726 cases per year 50-80% of mortality rate. Here, we report a case of a 55years old male patient admitted in surgery department with complaints of swelling and pain in perianal region, leakage of pus since 1 day, untreated Hansen’s disease since 2 years and Diabetes. The patient was found to be on T. Prednisolone for joint pains since 2 years. Patient counselling focussing on safe steroid use, importance of regular glycemic control and role of hygienity in disease control can reduce the severity of the patient who is diagnosed with Fournier’s gangrene. Clinical pharmacist can play a major role in this regard.
