Necrotising fasciitis is a dangerous and rapidly spreading infection of the fascial planes leading to necrosis of the subcutaneous tissues and overlying skin. It is caused by b-haemolytic streptococci and, occasionally, Staphylococcus aureus, but may take the form of a polymicrobial infection associated with other aerobic and anaerobic pathogens, including Bacteroides, Clostridium, Proteus, Pseudomonas and Klebsiella.
