Carnivorous disease is the common name for necrotizing fastsyyt (NPC-swarm-tai-long sound fa-shih-eye-tis), an infection that works its way rapidly through the layers of tissue (fascia) that surround muscles. It destroys tissue and can cause death within 12 to 24 hours. It is estimated that there are 90 to 200 cases per year in Canada, and from 20 to 30 percent of them are fatal. Symptoms of illness include carnivorous high temperature, and red, severely painful swelling that feels hot and spreads rapidly. The skin may become purple and then dies. There may be great destruction of tissue. Sometimes the tumor begins to place a small injury, for example, a small cut or shot, but otherwise no obvious source of infection. Carnivorous disease can be caused by many different bacteria, including group A streptococcus (

serious diseases, including pneumonia, meningitis, blood poisoning (bacteremia), streptococcus, toxic shock syndrome and carnivorous disease. develop serious illness. The bacteria are usually spread through close personal contact such as kissing or sharing eating utensils with someone who is infected. People who are sick, such as strep throat or skin infection, often to spread bacteria. People who carry the bacteria but have no symptoms are much less contagious. Scientists do not know exactly why group A streptococci cause only minor infections, for some people, but also poses a serious threat to others. However, some risk factors have been identified, including:

weakened immune system that can be caused by factors such as disease (

infection, AIDS), cancer treatment (radiation and chemotherapy), or by against rejection drugs after organ transplant or bone marrow;

Chronic diseases, including heart, lung or liver;
