Overview
Risk Factors
Common risk factors in the development of necrotizing fasciitis are:
| Type 1 | Type 2 | Type 3 | Type 4 |
|---|---|---|---|
| • Alcoholism • Antecedent trauma • Carcinoma • Cardiopulmonay disease • Diabetes • Iatrogenic procedures • Immunosupression (e.g., HIV and corticosteroid use) • Intravenous drug abuse • Male gender • Peripheral vascular disease • Recent surgery • Smoking • Advanced age |
• Raw oyster ingestion • Wound contamination with sea water • Immunosupression • Advanced age |• Immunosupression • Antecedent trauma • Burns • Advanced age |
