Necrotizing fasciitis can be a devastating infectious process when diagnosis and early aggressive therapy is delayed. The etiologic factors that may play a role in or affect this necrotizing infectious process are reviewed. An interesting case is presented of bilateral, lower extremity, necrotizing fasciitis in a patient with diabetes mellitus, peripheral vascular disease and profound sensory neuropathy.
