Difference between Abscess and Necrotizing fasciitis

Abscess vs. Necrotizing fasciitis

An abscess is a collection of pus that has built up within the tissue of the body. Necrotizing fasciitis (NF), commonly known as flesh-eating disease, is an infection that results in the death of the body's soft tissue.

Similarities between Abscess and Necrotizing fasciitis

Abscess and Necrotizing fasciitis have 12 things in common (in Unionpedia): Antibiotic, Cellulitis, Clindamycin, CT scan, Debridement, Diabetes mellitus, Drug injection, Gangrene, Infectious disease (medical specialty), Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus aureus, White blood cell.

Antibiotic

An antibiotic (from ancient Greek αντιβιοτικά, antibiotiká), also called an antibacterial, is a type of antimicrobial drug used in the treatment and prevention of bacterial infections.

CT scan

A CT scan, also known as computed tomography scan, makes use of computer-processed combinations of many X-ray measurements taken from different angles to produce cross-sectional (tomographic) images (virtual "slices") of specific areas of a scanned object, allowing the user to see inside the object without cutting.

Staphylococcus aureus

Staphylococcus aureus is a Gram-positive, round-shaped bacterium that is a member of the Firmicutes, and it is a member of the normal flora of the body, frequently found in the nose, respiratory tract, and on the skin.
