Cellulitis (also known as erysipelas) is a common infection of the skin and subcutaneous tissues, therefore falls within domain dermatologists. Cellulitis, which can often be recurrent, among top 10 reasons for admission to hospital, with patients receiving treatment from many specialties including emergency care, general practition...

Cellulitis has emerged as an economically important disease of broiler chickens. The impact of environmental risk factors on the incidence of cellulitis has not been evaluated in the United States. Escherichia coli (E. coli), the causative agent, is introduced through skin scratches during the grow out. Our previous work suggested that the litter was an important reservoir for cellulitis-associ...

this is a case report of foreign body ingestion in a suicide attempt resulting in gastric perforation and phlegmon formation during a subsequent 6 month period that eventually required surgical intervention. the patient had a prolonged course because she did not report a history of foreign body ingestion and the initial evaluating physicians had no suspicion about possible foreign body ingestio...

Children with red swollen eyes frequently present to emergency departments. Some patients will have orbital cellulitis, a condition that requires immediate diagnosis and treatment. Orbital cellulitis can be confused with the less severe, but more frequently encountered, periorbital cellulitis, which requires less aggressive management. Delayed recognition of the signs and symptoms of orbital ce...

Cellulitis is an inflammatory condition of sub-cutaneous connective tissue under the skin. Bacteria, most commonly Streptococci and Staphylococci, when they get beneath the skin tissue through possible cuts or bruises, play a big role in the pathogenesis of this condition [1,2]. Diagnosis is fairly straight forward based on the appearance of the skin. If untreated, cellulitis may be highly dang...

To the Editor—We read with interest the report by Del Giudice et al. [1] about a case of relapsing erysipelas caused by Streptococcus agalactiae. Molecular analyses of the strains, which were isolated from skin and vaginal specimens during 2 episodes, revealed identical restriction patterns, leading the authors to suggest that vaginal carriage of S. agalactiae served as a reservoir for relapsin...

BACKGROUND Preseptal and orbital cellulitis range in severity from minor to potentially severe complications. The purpose of this study is to describe the clinical features of patients with preseptal or orbital cellulitis in one medical center in Taiwan, and to assess the effectiveness of treatments and the complications. METHODS Patients admitted between 1996 and 2005 to Taipei Veterans Gene...

BACKGROUND Recommended therapy duration for patients hospitalized with cellulitis is 10-14 days. Unnecessary use of antibiotics is one of the key factors driving resistance. Recent studies have shown that antibiotic therapy for cellulitis in outpatients can safely be shortened, despite residual inflammation. This study will compare in hospitalized patients the safety and effectiveness of shorte...
