Abstract: Necrotizing Fasciitis (NF) is also known as the flesh eating disease. The incidence is rare. Mortality is a high as 40%. Very few cases have been reported in English literature. Researchers report a case of a previously healthy woman that developed necrotizing fasciitis after an uneventful hysterotomy that required antibiotics and debridment. The organisms causing were polymicrobial including Staphylococcus aureus, Streptocoocus sp. and Klebsiella sp.
