Claiming for necrotising fasciitis Bristol
Seeing as necrotising fasciitis (necrotizing fasciitis) is a rare infection, it leads to a disproportionately high number of medical negligence claims. This is because medical practitioners often fail to diagnose the condition in the early stages, instead believing it to be a less serious illness such as the flu or cellulitis.
A delay in diagnosis and treatment is, however, extremely problematic for necrotising fasciitis patients. The bacteria will continue to spread throughout the body, destroying the tissue as they go. It takes just hours for a widespread area of tissue to become necrotic, and days for the infection to reach the bloodstream, something which is potentially deadly.
Therefore there is only a small window of opportunity in which to minimise the effects of necrotising fasciitis. If this opportunity is missed because of medical error, the patient may be left with a large defect, an amputation or may even suffer fatal complications.
