title: [Necrotizing fasciitis of the face. Clinical and therapeutic aspects].
abstract: Necrotizing fasciitis is a synergic infection, the chief causal agents of which are beta-hemolytic group A streptococci. The authors insistingly review the different aspects of this rare affection and stress the importance of emergent medical and surgical management, as the evolution of the disease is still often lethal.
