Dr. P. Niranjan, Dr. Swetana . P

Abstract :

 Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a rare, life?threatening, mixed, synergistic gangrenous bacterial infection characterized by rapidly spreading inflammation and necrosis of the skin, subcutaneous tissue, and superficial fascia This study aims at early detection of necrotizing fasciitis by tissue biopsy for appropriate management. Tissue biopsies are taken for gram staining to identify organisms and culture and sensitivity for appropriate management with antibiotics. Grams staining are done to confirm mixed infections and rare pathogens.
