Fournier gangrene or Fournier's gangrene is an acute gangrenous infection of the scrotum, penis, or perineum following local trauma, operative procedures, an underlying urinary tract disease, or a distant acute inflammatory process.[2]

Galukande et al. (2014) reported two cases of previously rare Fournier's gangrene at the Infectious Disease Institute and International Hospital Kampala (IHK). The cases eventually recovered with aggressive treatment. .
