    Author: Sethi A, Sabherwal A, Puri R, Jain P.
    Journal: J Laryngol Otol; 2006 Mar; 120(3):E18. PubMed ID: 16917994.
    Abstract:
    Necrotizing fasciitis is a rare microbial soft tissue infection characterized by rapidly spreading areas of necrosis and a high mortality rate. It may be of odontogenic or traumatic origin or may arise from insect bites, burns or surgical infections. We present a clinical case of an eight-year-old child with facial and cervical necrotizing fasciitis as a complication of chronic suppurative otitis media. The causes, diagnosis and management of necrotizing fasciitis are reviewed.
