A 52-yeаr-оld mаn with type 2 diаbetes mellitus presents tо the emergency department with a 2-day histоry of severe right lower extremity pain and swelling. He recalls sustaining a minor abrasion to his shin while gardening 4 days ago. On examination, his temperature is 38.9°C (102°F), heart rate is 118 beats/min, and blood pressure is 92/58 mmHg. The right lower leg shows erythema extending from the ankle to mid-thigh, with areas of purple discoloration and two hemorrhagic bullae. The patient reports that the pain is "unbearable" and seems worse than what the skin findings would suggest. There is crepitus on palpation, and the patient has decreased sensation over the affected area. Laboratory studies show WBC 22,000/μL, serum lactate 4.2 mmol/L, and creatinine 2.1 mg/dL (baseline 0.9 mg/dL).
