Septic shock due to NSTI caused by Actinomyces Turicensis: the role of clinical pharmacology. Case report and review of the literature.

Critical septic patients affected by necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTI) require an early, aggressive and multidisciplinary treatment.

We report a case of septic shock due to NSTI in which clinical pharmacology is taken into account.
