Infectious Diseases

Background:

Necrotising fasciitis is a severe, potentially fatal soft tissue infection.
This study focuses on head and neck manifestations of necrotising fasciitis.

Purpose of the Study:

To report on the management of necrotising fasciitis in the head and neck region.
To highlight the importance of early diagnosis and intervention.

Main Methods:

Retrospective analysis of 6 patients treated between 1994 and 1998.
