  • Title: Necrotizing fasciitis: a classification of necrotizing soft tissue infections.
    Author: Cha JY, Releford BJ, Marcarelli P.
    Journal: J Foot Ankle Surg; 1994; 33(2):148-55. PubMed ID: 8019537.
    Abstract:
    Necrotizing fasciitis is a rare, often fatal soft tissue infection. It still remains a confusing entity because of the nomenclature and multiple subtypes described in the past. An interesting case study of a patient with necrotizing fasciitis secondary to nonclostridial gas gangrene is presented. A comprehensive review of necrotizing fasciitis, its disease process and treatment modalities will be discussed.
