Resumen

Fournier’s gangrene, a relatively rare form of necrotizing fasciitis, is a rapidly progressive disease affecting the deep and superficial tissues of the perineal, anal, scrotal, and genital regions. Despite the significant evolution in medical knowledge, there is still scarce evidence regarding the nursing care plan in patients affected by this pathology, which hinders its correct management. For this reason, we present the following clinical case of a 53-year-old male patient with Fournier’s gangrene who was admitted to the emergency department for 3 days of pain in the perineal area and fever.
