Necrotizing fasciitis is an infection of the soft tissue. It is most frequently caused by streptococcal bacteria although other types of bacteria like Staphilococcus can cause it as well.
It is treated surgically and by amputation of the affected tissue. Antibiotics can be effective if given early enough.
It has a mortality rate of about 25%. 70% if the patient has sepsis.
The condition has nothing to do with leprosy. Leprosy is a different illness that still exists in some parts of the world. Leprosy is caused by a very specific bacterium known as M. leprae and it has different symptoms. It is treatable with antibiotics.
