Is anyone aware of current research being done on necrotizing fasciitis? Any current research projects are of interest to me, but particularly those studying its epidemiology and new treatments (other than known surgical, antibiotic, and topical treatments.)

Perfect! Thank you. It's been so long since I've been in school, I'm finding all kinds of new resources. 

I miss libraries, books. And having time to spend in libraries. ;) Some schools have most of their books digitized now.

That's the way to save forests.. not to mention ability to search keyword in such document.

Bien sûr. However, I work in healthcare and see how much plastic and paper are disposed of each day. I've lost hope. Perhaps I'm not up to date on current efforts to save us from extinction. I hope this is the case.

Most paper comes from tree plantations and managed forests - renewable resources.  I'd not worry too much for our extinction.
