- probably_wrong 8y agoDefinition from the internet: > Necrotizing fasciitis refers to a rapidly spreading infection, usually located in fascial planes of connective tissue that results in tissue death (necrosis). Neither Wikipedia nor MedicineNet.com (to mention the top two results I got) mention any kind of link between Necrotizing fasciitis and formula. I suggest you give an actual link rather than just asking people to "look it up".
- Gatsky 8y agoIt’s actually necrotizing enterocolitis, and there is a link. Necrotizing fasciitis is something else entirely.
- BugsJustFindMe 8y agoThanks for giving the correct term. (I think that you might not be talking about the same kind of link as the comment you replied to, though.) It's interesting to see already more than one comment using the wrong term, possibly because they don't think about the meaning of fasci vs entero + coli?
