title: Necrotizing fasciitis resulting from human bites: A report of two cases of disease caused by group A streptococcus.
abstract: Necrotizing fasciitis is a serious and potentially life-threatening condition. Although bite wounds are common, they are not frequently reported as a cause of necrotizing fasciitis. In the present article, two cases of bite-associated necrotizing fasciitis caused by group A streptococcus are reported. Previously published cases are also reviewed.
