Overview
Historical Perspective
- Necrotizing fasciitis was first described by Hippocrates in the fifth century B.C. as the complication of erysipelas.[1][2]
- It was first described as "Hospital gangrene" during civil war by confederate army surgeon Joseph Jones.
- In 1883, Necrotizing fasciitis was first described in a specific body region by Fournier.
- Meleney reported a series of 20 patients in 1924 as having hemolytic streptococcal gangrene, later called meleney's gangrene.
- The association between bacterial infection and necrotizing fasciitis was made in 1918.
- In 1952, the disease was named as necrotizing fasciitis by Wilson.
- Necrotizing fasciitis of perineum was described in 1883 by the French physician, Jean Alfred Fournier.
- Guiliano and colleagues divided the necrotizing fasciitis into type I and type II.[3]
- In 1989, Stevens and colleagues were the first to characterize unique clinical characteristics associated with GASNF.[4]
- The soft tissue infections were first classified as either local or spreading by Smith et al[5]
- The soft tissue infections are classified into either necrotizing or non necrotizing by Lewis and further subdivided these infections into focal or diffuse.[6]
