  18. Barriers to Effective Treatment of Necrotizing Soft Tissue Infections Delays in diagnosis Inadequate debridement Phys exam Work up Surgery • not “simple cellulitis”! • more pronounced pain, toxicity • no undue delays with CT, MRI • surg exploration more efficient with frozen section • not ITS! But • repeated, excisional debridement Urschel Postgrad Med J 1999; 75:645-9
