The patient with a nonspecific surface presentation that merely hints at necrotizing soft tissue infection may in fact be hurtling along an extremely fulminant course with a poor prognosis. The authors explain how to proceed quickly through the necessary assessments so you can get your patient to the operating room before it's too late.
