ABSTRACT
A case of survival of a patient with Fournier's gangrene and diabetic ketoacidosis is described. Careless handling of itchy scrotal disease in this diabetic patient was responsible for the onset of scrotal gangrene. Early recognition of diabetic ketoacidosis and Fournier's gangrene and prompt treatment led to survival. Consequently; early consultation of a physician/dermatologist is advised when diabetics have itchy groin lesions; while doctors are urged to routinely examine the scrotum of patients with diabetic ketoacidosis
