Özet: Necrotizing soft-tissue infections NSTIs are a rare, rapidly progressive, and often fatal infection of skin and superficial fascia. NSTI treatments consist of early diagnosis, radical surgical debridement of all involved necrotic tissue, use of broad spectrum antibiotics, and aggressive nutritional support.These life-threatening infections are often mistaken for cellulitis or innocent wound infections, and this causes for diagnostic delay. Incision and drainage is an inappropriate surgical strategy for NSTIs; excisional debridement is needed. Despite advances in surgical techniques and newly invented medicine, the mortality of NSTIs is still high. The entire therapeutic process requires a well-prepared and coordinated team of health care professionals including EPs, general surgery, plastic and reconstructive surgery, infectious disease, emergency medicine,anesthesiology and reanimation consultants. In this article; we aimed to discuss early diagnosis and treatment of the two cases in NSTI patients having later diagnosis and treatment that we observed in emergency department and intensive care by revisioning literature and predisposition factors.
