UK doctors warn of 'flesh-eating' vulva infections
86% Informative
U.K. doctors describe three cases of necrotizing fasciitis of the vulva.
Bacteria enter the skin through a cut, abrasion, burn, surgical wound, or even an insect bite.
The infection rapidly causes soft tissues to die, or "necrotize," and spreads through the body very quickly.
Case report authors urge gynecologists to keep an eye out for signs of an infection that could develop into necrotizing fasciitis.
They also emphasized that "time is of the essence" when treating the condition.
"The mortality rate of vaginal NF is estimated to be up to 50% ".
