Abstract
To provide a contemporary review of the diagnosis and management of necrotizing soft-tissue infections. Scientific literature and internet sources. Major articles of importance in this area. The mortality for necrotizing soft-tissue infections appears to be decreasing, possibly due to improved recognition and earlier delivery of more effective therapy. Establishing a diagnosis and initiating treatment as soon as possible provides the best opportunity for a good outcome.
