[Necrotizing fasciitis caused by group G streptococci].

U Horas1, U Herbst, A Hamann, S Ernst.   

Abstract

Necrotizing fasciitis is a soft tissue infection which is highly lethal. Its lethality can only be reduced by early diagnosis and radical débridement. A delayed diagnosis will result in streptococcal toxic shock syndrome. Any surgery neglecting radical débridement up to amputation is inadequate and cannot reduce lethality. This paper reports on two cases of necrotizing fasciitis of the leg caused by group G streptococci.
