The Diagnosis and Management of Necrotising Fasciitis

It is associated with a significant risk of mortality and long-termr disability from limb and tissue loss. It occurs frequently enough that physicians outside critical care are likely torn be involved in the management of at least one patient with NF during their practice, but infrequently enough that familiarity with the disease will seldom be achieved
