Necrotizing fasciitis is a rare but life-threatening soft-tissue infection characterized by rapidly spreading inflammation and subsequent necrosis of the fascial planes and surrounding tissue. Infection typically follows trauma, although the inciting insult may be as minor as a scrape or an insect bite.

Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases, 2001
Necrotizing fasciitis continues to occur due to beta-haemolytic streptococci but is now also recognized as being due to Vibrio spp. in fishermen and those in contact with warm water in the Gulf of Mexico and South-East Asia, including Hong Kong. Magnetic resonance image scanning has identified the extent of fasciitis and soft tissue oedema infiltrating

Pediatric Emergency Care, 2011
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.

Craniocervical Necrotizing Fasciitis
Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, 1984Craniocervical necrotizing fasciitis (CCNF) is a severe, progressive bacterial infection of the cervical fascia. The most significant manifestations of this disease are extensive fascial necrosis with widespread undermining of the surrounding tissues and extreme systemic toxicity.

Cervicofacial necrotizing fasciitis
Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice, 2006Cervical necrotizing fasciitis is a fast spreading acute soft tissue inflammation. Death can occur within 12-24 h. Early identification and treatment is needed. We report the case of a 75 year old woman with diabetes and high cholesterol, adipositas who developed cervical necrotizing fasciitis of odotongenic origin with massive subcutaneous air ...

Cervical Necrotizing Fasciitis
Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology, 1997Cervical necrotizing fasciitis (CNF) is an aggressive infection of the head and neck with high complication and mortality rates. Sixty-eight cases of CNF have been reported in the English-language literature. We present a series of 8 patients with CNF, including 5 men and 3 women ranging in age from 25 to 92 years.

Cervical Necrotizing Fasciitis
Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, 1981The fourth known case of cervical necrotizing fasciitis is presented to illustrate pertinent clinical, diagnostic, and therapeutic features of this entity. The case occurred after a dental abscess; complications included acute airway obstruction, mediastinitis, and septic shock. Extensive surgical exposure and drainage were required for control.

Cervical necrotizing fasciitis
European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology, 1999Necrotizing fasciitis is a severe soft tissue infection that results in necrosis of the fasciae and subcutaneous tissues; the infection can quickly prove fatal. Although involvement of the head and neck is rare, causes are usually odontogenic or pharyngeal but can also be insect bites, local trauma, burns or surgery.

Cervical Necrotizing Fasciitis
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2008Craniocervical necrotizing fasciitis initially involves the superficial musculoaponeurotic system and superficial fascial planes of the head and neck, or it may result from a deep soft-tissue infection. Deep necrotizing fasciitis of the head and neck (Fig. 1) is a soft-tissue infection characterized by rapid progression and doubtful outcome, especially

Archives of Dermatology, 1978
Two patients had limited necrotizing fascilitis. The morbidity and mortality from this infectious necrotizing process of the superficial fascia have not changed significantly since its initial description in 1924. The characteristic clinical findings of necrotizing fascilitis makes early recognition possible.
