What is the Most Well-Known Type of Myonecrosis

Question

What is the most well-known type of myonecrosis?
A) Tetanus
B) Necrotizing fasciitis
C) Gas gangrene
D) Ebola hemorrhage

Accepted Answer

Gas gangrene, also known as clostridial myonecrosis, is the most well-known type of myonecrosis. It is caused by the bacteria Clostridium perfringens and can lead to rapid destruction of muscle tissue and severe systemic symptoms. Tetanus and necrotizing fasciitis are also types of myonecrosis, but they are less well-known than gas gangrene. Ebola hemorrhage is not a type of myonecrosis, but a viral hemorrhagic fever.
