Abstract
Necrotizing soft tissue infections represent a highly lethal group of infections. Necrotizing fasciitis is a rare, rapidly progressive infection with extensive necrosis of subcutaneous tissue and fascia, usually accompanied by severe systemic toxicity. The cornerstone of treatment is early diagnosis and treatment. Unfortunately, a delay in accurate diagnosis or definitive treatment may prove fatal.
