Frozen-section biopsy
Early recognition of necrotizing fasciitis (NF) can be made by using of specimens of suspected areas of tissue ; however, it requires high expertise to process and interpret biopsy specimens, which is not readily available in most clinical settings where and when patients present[1].
Staphylococcus aureus antibody testing
Presence of Staphylococcus aureus in the absence of an acute-phase antibody can be highly suggestive of Staphylococcal TSS.
