underlying fascia. As a completely horrifying this disease is , it’s a rare disease
.Necrotizing soft tissue infections are medically emergency , and the treatment requires
a combination of surgical debridement of infected tissue and antibiotic therapy, the
antibiotic therapy should be directed at streptococci pyogenes (S.pyogenes ) ,
methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) , and anaerobic and aerobic
gram – negative rods, Necrotizing fasciitis has two classifications.; type I which is polymicrobial it caused by both anaerobic and aerobic bacteria ,following, diabetics and
iner-abdominal surgery ,this type can cause a disease called Fournier gangrene which
can be seen in male perineum , type II most often due to(S.pyogenes) and even by
community acquired( MRSA) , it can also be caused by another type of bacteria for

occur by gram negative organisms according to experiment that had been occur in
parkland hospital the initial injury some occurs outside the hospital and some are post
surgical and the location of the injury most common in the lower extremity but it also
can happen in upper extremity , subcostal region , abdomen ,etc …
