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.
