  • Title: [Necrotizing fasciitis caused by group A streptococci].
    Author: Kinn I.
    Journal: Tidsskr Nor Laegeforen; 1990 Aug 30; 110(20):2641-3. PubMed ID: 2219029.
    Abstract:
    The number of serious infections from group A streptococci has increased, and there have simultaneously been several cases of necrotizing fasciitis. This is an uncommon, but well-defined entity characterized by extensive necrosis of subcutaneous tissue and fascia, combined with signs of septicaemia. It is often accompanied by multi-organ failure. The mainstay of management is early diagnosis and prompt surgical intervention. It is mandatory that a surgeon, an infectious disease specialist and an anaesthesiologist collaborate on the therapy as a whole.
