Abstract:
Three cases of a necrotizing fasciitis, a rare but life- and limb-threatening infection, were treated in the Department of Surgery at the University Hospital of the Ruhr University Bochum (MHH) between October 1992 and January 1994. We compare our experiences with regard to bacteriological etiology, risk factors, localization, and place of entry, course, therapy and mortality with those in the literature.
