Her condition progressed swiftly into sepsis and required hospital admission in the intensive care unit. Over the course of 24 h the patient was diagnosed with necrotizing fasciitis in the finger but unfortunately despite treatment with antimicrobials and surgical debridement the patient's finger could not be saved and she had amputation of her finger.
