Overview
Differential Diagnosis
Necrotizing fasciitis must be differentiated from: Early stage
- Muscle strains
- Viral illness
- Thrombosis
- Sprain or exacerbation of gout
- Sun burn or an allergic rash
Late stage
- Nonnecrotizing fasciitis (eosinophilic fasciitis, para neoplastic fasciitis, nodular fasciitis and proliferative fasciitis)
- Cellulitis
- Dermatomyositis
- Vaculitis (Lupus myofasciitis, Churg-strauss vasculitis and others)
- Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD)
- Diabetic myonecrosis
- Compartment syndrome
- Lymphedema
- Phlegmasia cerulea dolens
- Myxedema
- Gastroenteritis
