| Popis: |
Dapagliflozin (Farxiga), is an SGLT-2 inhibitor commonly indicated for the treatment of diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM 2), heart failure, and chronic kidney disease. One rare side effect associated with SGLT-2 inhibitors is bacterial infection of the genitalia. There are several case reports highlighting the incidence of Fournier's gangrene (FG) in patients who take medications within this drug class. We report a case of FG in a diabetic patient on dapagliflozin who presented following scrotal hydrocelectomy for a large-volume hydrocele. The patient was urgently taken to the operating room for scrotal debridement and recovered well in the post-operative period. |
