Life-threatening necrotizing fasciitis.
Necrotizing fasciitis is characterized by a rapidly progressing necrosis of subcutaneous fat and fascia, which can be life-threatening without prompt recognition, surgical intervention, and immediate antibiotic therapy.

In addition, synonyms, such as streptococcal gangrene and "flesh-eating bacteria syndrome," have been used in the literature.
