 | Necrotizing fasciitis (AKA the flesh-eating bacterial disease) is a deep form of cellulitis that rapidly progresses to gangrene and necrosis of several layers of tissue, including the overlying skin, and occasionally including muscle. |
| Histologically necrotizing fasciitis shows prominent inflammation in and around cutaneous arteries with fibrinoid necrosis and fibrin thrombi. |
| There is dermal necrosis that extends along fascial planes accompanied by infiltration with many inflammatory cells (especially neutrophils), and large numbers of clumped gram-positive bacteria in the dermis. |
