Genetic Susceptibility to Non-Necrotizing Erysipelas/Cellulitis
BACKGROUND Bacterial non-necrotizing erysipelas and cellulitis are often recurring, diffusely spreading infections of the skin and subcutaneous tissues caused most commonly by streptococci. Host genetic factors influence infection susceptibility but no extensive studies on the genetic determinants of human erysipelas exist. METHODS We performed genome-wide linkage with the 10,000 variant Huma...
متن کامل[Erysipelas and cellulitis: a retrospective study of 122 cases].
BACKGROUND Erysipelas and cellulitis are relatively common cutaneous infections that can sometimes be the cause of a prolonged hospital admission. The objective of this study was to determine the most relevant epidemiologic factors and their influence on the length of hospital stay, comparing our results with those of previous studies. MATERIAL AND METHODS We performed a retrospective, observ...
متن کاملA systematic review of bacteremias in cellulitis and erysipelas.
OBJECTIVES Because of the difficulty of obtaining bacterial cultures from patients with cellulitis and erysipelas, the microbiology of these common infections remains incompletely defined. Given the emergence of community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) over the past decade the proportion of infections due to S. aureus has become particularly relevant. METHODS...
متن کاملThe efficacy and safety of daptomycin vs. vancomycin for the treatment of cellulitis and erysipelas
BACKGROUND Results from previous trials suggest that daptomycin may result in faster clinical improvement than penicillinase-resistant penicillins or vancomycin for patients with complicated skin and skin structure infections. OBJECTIVE The objective was to evaluate whether daptomycin treatment of cellulitis or erysipelas would result in faster resolution compared with vancomycin. DESIGN Th...
متن کاملLow sensitivity of needle aspiration cultures in patients with cellulitis/erysipelas
PURPOSE Cellulitis is normally treated without knowledge of the responsible pathogen. Blood cultures are positive in about 2-4 %, and superficial swabs are of no value. Needle aspiration has been proposed with identifying the likely pathogen in up to 29 %, but these studies are of older date and the technique is not widely used. METHODS We prospectively evaluated the sensitivity of needle asp...
