Necrotizing fasciitis is a lethal and insidious disease with a high mortality. It often begins in areas exposed to fecal or urinary contamination, and about 70% of cases occur in diabetics. A high index of suspicion should be maintained in diabetic patients with an infection in the perineum, genitalia, thigh, or buttocks.

Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a rare, rapidly progressive bacterial soft tissue infection with a high risk for morbidity and mortality. Although more common in adults, NF also affects the pediatric population. Many bacterial organisms can cause NF, but group A Streptococcus is the most common monomicrobial cause of disease.
