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.

The diagnosis of necrotizing fasciitis [PDF]
Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases, 2005 A delay in the diagnosis and appropriate treatment of necrotizing fasciitis has clearly been demonstrated to increase mortality. However, paucity of specific cutaneous signs makes early recognition extremely difficult. This review highlights recent developments in the approaches to the diagnosis of necrotizing fasciitis.A clinical staging of ...

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

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.

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

Necrotizing fasciitis in childhood
Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1995Necrotizing fasciitis is a rare entity in the pediatric population. Five cases of this soft tissue infection were treated at the authors' institution between January and December 1993. Three of the children were profoundly neutropenic secondary to chemotherapy. All five were treated with aggressive surgical debridement, frequent dressing changes, broad-

Erysipelas and necrotizing fasciitis
British Journal of Dermatology, 1977The clinical course of necrotizing fasciitis in 8 patients is compared with observations on 22 other patients with erysipelas. In necrotizing fasciitis the early erythematous areas turn into a dusky blue colour with later vesiculation and formation of bullae. An important finding is a non-pitting oedema extending outside the erythematous patches.

Necrotizing fasciitis of the perineum
World Journal of Pediatrics, 2011Necrotizing fasciitis is a severe soft tissue infection characterized by rapidly progressing necrosis, involving subcutaneous tissues. This rare condition carries a high mortality rate and requires prompt diagnosis and urgent treatment with radical debridement and antibiotics; but early diagnosis, which is essential to successful treatment, remains a ...

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.
