Abstract

Necrotizing fasciitis is an infection of subcutaneous tissue and fascia which may spread rapidly
to deeper tissue and surrounding tissue which may cause damage to the tissue and present as a
localized infection and fulminant septic shock with high mortality rate.1 Necrotizing fasciitis will
undergo extensive wound debridement of the necrotic tissue which may create huge raw area
with severe morbidity to the patient. Skin Allograft can be used as a biological dressing to cover
the wound as a bridge till the wound bed and general condition of the patient get improved has
been found to be effective in wound bed preparation. This study highlights our experience in
wound bed preparation using Allograft as an adjuvant in a case of necrotizing fasciitis.
