10. What Is the Prognosis?

With necrotizing fasciitis alone, patients have a survival rate of approximately 66%. However, if a patient contracts an additional streptococcal infection, that percentage can drop to only 40%.

Necrotizing fasciitis is a rare tissue infection with many severe complications. The primary takeaway for potential patients is to receive treatment as early as possible because rapid intervention is often key to survival. While unlikely, if you have any of the signs or symptoms of this condition, get to a doctor immediately for help.
