Re: Necrotizing Fasciitis After Missed Rectal Injury
You have to understand that their intention is to open him up. The original injury was much smaller, most likely a small stab wound. In stabbing the patient, the assailant introduced bacteria into the patient's body, most likely Clostridium perfringens. This bacteria has a propensity to cause cell death, and in so doing, has cause extensive necrosis of the patient's subcutaneous tissue known as fascia (which overlies the muscles), hence the name "necrotizing fasciitis." In any case, one of the important steps of treatment is to surgically expose the infected tissue and remove any infected tissue. This often results in amputation.
