| Necrotizing fasciitis, Flesh-eating disease.These infections caused by virulent beta strep group A have been described since the 1920's. In Canada, there are 90 to 150 cases each year. A person may show no signs or symptoms, or they may have fever, sore throat, rash, or sores on the skin. Very rarely, these symptoms may progress quickly to severe illness with high fever, headache, and very painful skin infection which spreads rapidly at a rate of two to three centimetres (an inch) per hour. Death can occur in 12 to 24 hours. If you or a member of your family display these symptoms, seek immediate medical attention. |
