Such infections have been known throughout recorded history. The pathophysiology and principles of treatment have been known for at least a century. The most effective antibiotic for treating this condition was discovered over fifty years ago and remains effective to this day. Although these infections may be fatal within 24-48 hours, streptococcal necrotizing fasciitis is not a disease of medical progress, but is a disease not recognized because it has been made rare by the widespread use of antibiotics. A review of the pathophysiology and treatment of this condition is timely, however, as effective treatment requires immediate recognition, immediate surgical intervention, and prompt institution of antibiotic therapy. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
