ABSTRACT
Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a soft tissue infection spreading along the fasciae to the surrounding subcutaneous fat, overlying skin and finally musculature, that may rapidly lead to septic shock and death. In order to avoid a massive systemic spread of the infective process, an immediate and extensive radical debridement of necrotic tissues is mandatory complemented by a broad spectrum intravenous antibiotic therapy. Nevertheless, mortality is persistently high at 20-40â
%. Because of the lack of specific clinical features in the initial stage of the disease, it is often underestimated or confused with cellulitis or abscess. Hence, early diagnosis is missed or delayed in 85â
%-100â
% of cases with the passage of valuable time.The aim of this review is to give an overview of the clinical and laboratory elements to be considered for diagnosis as well as the essential therapeutic patterns.
