Core Tip	This is a case report of an infant with Fournier gangrene. Despite its rarity, Fournier gangrene was and remains a disease with severe complications and a high mortality rate. The prognosis for this disease is heavily influenced by the timing of medical treatment. Despite receiving optimal antibiotic and supportive care after hospital admission, the patient developed sepsis with severe liver damage, making treatment more challenging. The prognosis to sepsis and liver dysfunction was influenced by the delayed diagnosis. Through this case report we would like to highlight the importance of early recognition and high clinical suspicion by all doctors (pediatricians, dermatologist, surgeons, etc.), in order to make an accurate diagnosis.
