Kurt Russell, a Hollywood legend known for films like Escape from New York and Tombstone, is battling necrotizing fasciitis, a life-threatening “flesh-eating” infection. This rare disease destroys soft tissues quickly and requires surgery and antibiotics.
His condition may be linked to Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome (PJS), a genetic disorder that can lead to cancerous polyps in the intestines. While PJS doesn’t directly cause the infection, it weakens the immune system, increasing vulnerability. Early detection and treatment are essential for both conditions.
