Description

Necrotizing Soft Tissue Infection (NSTI) is a severe infection, a potentially life threatening condition that can spread rapidly, and leads to high morbidity and mortality. 

NSTI’s are characterized by necrotic skin, subcutaneous fat, fascia, and/or muscle. It is imperative to survival that diagnosis is established early so that guidelines developed for operative debridement and wound care can be implemented and morbidity and mortality minimized.


Specialty
