AB  - This paper reports a 14-year-old male patient who developed necrotizing fasciitis of the leg after a minor trauma. He was admitted to our intensive care unit with septic shock and acute lung injury. The clinical course was complicated by bilateral multiple pneumoceles resulting in bilateral pneumothoraces. The causative organism was found to be Staphylococcus aureus. This young patient survived and was discharged home in fair general condition.
