Necrotizing fasciitis, also known as hemolytic streptococcal gangrene, is a very rare infection that spreads deep into the body along tissue planes.
Gangrene essentially means death of tissues due to lack of blood supply and invasion of deeper tissues with infection. Gangrene may be broadly classified into two types – dry and wet gangrene. There are several other types of gangrene that are rarer. However, all types of gangrene manifest either as dry or wet form.
Necrosis with putrefaction of tissue, may be caused by certain bacterias. Gangrene is a complication of necrosis. Tissue becomes black and malodorous.
