IMPORTANCE Cellulitis is a common and costly problem, often diagnosed in the outpatient setting. Many cutaneous conditions may clinically mimic cellulitis, but little research has been done to assess the magnitude of the problem. OBJECTIVE To determine if obtaining dermatology consultations in the outpatient primary care setting could assist in the diagnosis of pseudocellulitic conditions and...

BACKGROUND Eosinophilic cellulitis (Wells' syndrome) is a polyetiologic clinical entity with still obscure pathogenesis. Clinically overt toxocariasis is uncommon in adults, yet helminthozoonoses, including toxocariasis have been occasionally implicated in the pathogenesis of eosinophilic cellulitis. CASE REPRESENTATION A 55-year-old female patient presented with a skin biopsy verified recurr...

OBJECTIVE The flood after a typhoon may lead to increase in patients with cellulitis of lower limbs. However, the microbiological features of these cases are rarely reported. We conducted a study of patients with lower extremity cellulitis after a typhoon followed in southern Taiwan to study the risk factors of cellulitis and the bacteriological features of the patients. METHODS We reviewed a...

Orbital cellulitis and abscess formation are uncommon complications of sinusitis. Early diagnosis and treatment are important to prevent blindness and intracranial complications. We present four consecutive cases referred over 2 years which demonstrate how diagnostic delays may occur and suggest a protocol to avoid similar delays.

Cellulitis of the lower leg is an infection caused by streptococci or, less commonly, Staphylococcus aureus and other gram-negative rods. Recurrence of cellulitis is a common problem. In the present study, we evaluated the use of monthly intramuscular injections of benzathine penicillin G to prevent recurrences of cellulitis. A total of 115 patients with definite or presumptive cases of strepto...
