What is the life expectancy of someone with Necrotizing fasciitis?
Life expectancy of people with Necrotizing fasciitis and recent progresses and researches in Necrotizing fasciitis
Unless your organs were affected you should have a normal life expectancy.

If it is diagnosed early it is normally a good outcome. And they have a new drug in third stage of trials.

There have been many great advancements in medicine for people with NF. Life expectancy can vary. For me being told I had NF and that I probably wouldn;t live through the night (May 28,1994)and its been over 20 years since that diagnosis and I am still alive. It has been a long long road, with ups and downs, and curves and bumpy roads. I think that most complications are due to infection and the infection reoccuring or another being contracted. There are many new things that I have heard of to help, being new medications, therapies-- like wound vacuums and hyperbaric chambers, are some of the ones I know of. With the internet, reaching out to others who have had NF or have it is important.

Life expectancy is normal however the unknown could weigh things differently.

The life expectancy of someone who makes it through the acute beginning phase is the same as someone who never had nec fac. Hyperbaric treatment chambers are present in many cities, they are much more commonplace than they used to be. Also wound vacuums are getting smaller and easier to use as an outpatient. Better antibiotics and anti microbials are also helping to speed recovery.

It depends on many different things, bit the average life expectancy is 10 years.

If you get treatment right away, you will recover completely.
