abstract={Necrotizing fasciitis is an uncommon disease and a soft tissue infection that spreads along fascial planes with associated inflammation and necrosis. Herein, this study reported necrotizing fasciitis as a rare complication after bone marrow transplantation (BMT) in a Iranian patient and the efficacy of early treatment in improvement it. A 28-year-old lady had known case of first relapse of Hodgkin¡¯s lymphoma that admitted for auto-BMT in 2016. Five years ago due to abdominal-pelvic massive lymphadenopathy, she was treated with six courses of ABVD regimen combined with involved filed irradiation. Due to Hodgkin¡¯s relapse, the patient was treated with six courses of ICE regimen and after complete remission was selected for auto-BMT. Necrotizing fasciitis was reported by MRI and the patients was treated with combination of a number of antibiotics after fasciectomy. In conclusion, necrotizing fasciitis is a rare complication of BMT, especially autologous type that drug selection and rapid surgical fasciectomy are important decisions for prevention of mortality and morbidity of this complication.},
