Popis: A ‘Killer or flesh eating Bug’ as known to the Military surgeon of past centuries [1] was due to its nature of rapid spread along the facial planes to involve the sub cutaneous tissues, fascia, skin and possibly muscle[1,2]. Copious amount of foul-smelling pus are typically produced. Blood vessels become thrombosed, and ultimately tissue death occurs [1,3]. Now well known as Necrotizing fasciitis, due to presence of innumerable data, has become a common complication as an exacerbation of pre-existing infection.
