Necrotizing fasciitis: eight-year experience and literature review

Abstract: Necrotizing fasciitis, although not common, can cause notable rates of morbidity and mortality. It is important to have a high index of suspicion and increase awareness in view of the paucity of specific cutaneous findings early in the course of the disease. Prompt diagnosis and early operative debridement with adequate antibiotics are vital.

“…Cutaneous sensitivity which exceeds the areas of visible changes in the skin is one of the most important physical signs for diagnosis. A combination of lack of sensitivity in the visibly affected area and acute systemic toxicity are highly suggestive of the presence of NSTI (SHIROFF et al, 2014;WONG;TAY, 2007;LING, 2014).…”

“…Несмотря на су-ществующее терминологическое многообразие, назва-ние «некротизирующая инфекция» сегодня является наиболее распространенным [1,2,5]. Некротизирую-щая инфекция представляет собой неспецифический воспалительный процесс в мягких тканях бактериаль-ной этиологии, который характеризуется их омертвле-нием, быстрым распространением, выраженной ин-токсикацией и высокой летальностью [1,2,[5][6][7]. Термин «неспецифическая инфекция» говорит о том, что воспалительный процесс может быть вызван раз-личными микроорганизмами, имея при этом сходные клинические проявления и патоморфологические из-менения.…”
