-*Necrotizing fasciitis was first described in 1871 during civil war by a confederate army surgeon named Joseph Jones.
-*The association between bacterial infection and necrotizing fasciitis was made in 1918.
-*In 1952, the disease was named as necrotizing fasciitis.<ref name="pmid1988793">{{cite journal| author=Caplehorn JR, Bell J| title=Methadone dosage and retention of patients in maintenance treatment. | journal=Med J Aust | year= 1991 | volume= 154 | issue= 3 | pages= 195-9 | pmid=1988793 | doi= | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=1988793  }} </ref>

-*Necrotizing fasciitis may be classified according to international classification of diseases-10 (ICD-10) into:<ref> ICD-10 version:2016. http://apps.who.int/classifications/icd10/browse/2016/en#/M72.6 2016 Accessed on August 25,2016 </ref>
-:*M72.6 Necrotizing fasciitis
-*Based on microbiological findings, necrotizing fasciitis may be classified into four types
-:*'''Type 1''': Polymicrobial:
-:*'''Type 2''': Group A streptococcal
-:*'''Type 3''': Gas gangrene or clostridial myonecrosis
-:*'''Type 4''':
