Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a life-threatening infection with rapidly progressive necrosis. Escherichia coli is rarely reported as causative agent of type 2 NF. NF typically arises in a single area usually secondary to penetrating injury. NF was only reported as a postoperative complication of ...

The expressed fluid was tan but did not have the classic “dishwater” appearance of necrotizing fasciitis, nor was it malodorous. The fascia was thickened and opaque. A counterincision was then made proximally over the biceps muscle in the proximal brachium (Figure 2). This region displayed ...

Patients undergoing body contouring may be at increased risk of developing necrotizing fasciitis; therefore, increased attention should be paid to this differential diagnosis in case of ...

Conclusions: Despite this being the first case of the successful identification of pathogenic bacteria in necrotising fasciitis using this assay, the BFJIP may become a useful tool for rapid identification of pathogens in necrotising fasciitis cases and guiding antimicrobial therapy for better clinical ...
Necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTI-s), including necrotising fasciitis (NF), are associated with high rates of mortality, generally ranging between 10 and 30% depending on the microbial aetiology and overall patient status/condition [1,2]. The therapeutic approach is surgical debridement with...
Necrotizing fasciitisS.pyogenesamputationBackground:Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a life-threatening and acute progressive soft tissue infection and needs early surgical intervention, that is, debridement or amputation. Surgical strategy or prognosis is influenced by the speed of progression and patients' ...
Introduction: Idiopathic necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is an infrequent, highly lethal skin infection that spreads rapidly, marked by fascia and subcutaneous tissue necrosis. It occurs in the absence of a known causative factor. Its emergence after sterile orthopedic fixation with unexpected spread to the...
