Necrotising Fasciitis

Necrotising fasciitis is an infection of the subcutaneous fat and fascia, which is so bad that it causes these tissues to necrose.

It spreads extremely quickly and makes the patient extremely septic.

Looking at the affected area however it can be difficult to distinguish from cellulitis (a non-necrotic subcutaneous fat infection).

This is the main focus of this video to explain how one can try to clinically distinguish cellulitis and necrotising fasciitis.

This is an excellent explanation of the pathophysiology of NF. It has really helped me with a VIVA oral exam so thank you.

So does the break/wound in the skin have to be deep enough that the s/c fat is visible to cause this?

I actually googled images of this illness and it looks like when you itch your foot too hard and you break the skin!

What I am left with 3 months later after emergency surgery for Necrotising fasciitis on my buttocks is I now have a stoma on my belly and a Seaton drain between my buttocks with horrid wounds. I nearly died on the table.I’ve had 6 surgeries in 3 months. I can’t afford in home help or the sterile. dressings. I’m depressed, I’m unemployed and I have no friends or family.

Worried as my 1 year daughter under her left arm pit had spot appeared small now to days on the spot has grown to size of a 50p now more spots have came with another sport growing to same size, now its red and wet, took her hospital loads different doctors trying to work out what she has, gave her antibiotics but still feel unsatisfied & worried they did take a swap of the infected skin, told me take to days find out what it is?

This is a good lecture on the topic but I really wished if you could add more details rather than explaining a little point for a long time.

Sorry for my weird question, but are you a mathematics student or med student?
