Proptosis is commonly encountered in clinical practice. We report on a patient with acute proptosis, eyelid swelling, and chemosis, which was initially treated as cellulitis. After radiological and pathological assessments, a diagnosis of large B-cell lymphoma was made. The patient died within 2 months of presentation. Not all patients with proptosis have cellulitis. Proptosis, especially unila...

The varying presentations of neonatal breast enlargement on imaging have been underreported in the literature. Our case report profiles a 3-week-old female patient who presented with a history of left breast enlargement with redness and tenderness for 2 days, who was clinically diagnosed and managed for neonatal mastitis, which was actually a neonatal breast enlargement with adjacent cellulitis...

Patients with disseminated cryptococcosis infrequently present with cutaneous involvement. Skin lesions, when present, are usually multiple and polymorphous in appearance. Cellulitis caused by Cryptococcus neoformans is rare, and necrotizing vasculitis associated with cryptococcal vascular invasion has not to our knowledge been reported. We report here a case of disseminated cryptococcosis in a...

This study reports a case of Serratia marcescens cellulitis following a snakebite in a 50-year-old woman. The bite was on the dorsum of the right hand with symptoms of envenomation. She developed swelling and cellulitis with tissue necrosis. Wound debridement was performed.  Pus and tissue biopsy cultures yielded Serratia marcescens sensitive to fluoroquinolones, aminoglycosides, third-generati...

Orbital cellulites is an uncommon infectious process in which patient may present with pain, reduced visual acuity, compromised ocular motility and significant proptosis. [1][3] In the modern era of relatively early access to the health care facilities, complete loss of vi‐ sion from orbital cellulitis is rare. In the vast majority of cases, a history of upper respirato‐ ry tract infection prio...

Abstract Pathogenic strains of Escherichia coli may invade the subcutaneous tissue poultry and cause cellulitis, whilst pathogen also lesions in internal organs such as liver. Current paper co-relates virulence genes characteristic Avian (APEC) broilers´ cellulitis liver lesions. One hundred carcasses were retrieved from production chain an avian abattoir state Bahia, Brazil, between August 201...

The aim of this study was to assess the use of magnetic resonance as a new method for evaluating the manual lymphatic drainage technique in treating cellulitis. Cellulitis is one of the main esthetic problems that lead women toward seeking guidance and specific treatments. There are various therapeutic approaches, owing to the multifactorial nature of its pathogen, although the effectiveness of...

Bacterial orbital cellulitis is an infection of the soft tissues behind the orbital septum. Cellulitis is seen as a poorly defined area of increased CT density or T2 signal intensity within the fat. There is an amorphous enhancement following contrast infusion. Radiolabeled leukocytes or granulocytes are now established widely as a means of localizing various forms of inflammatory disease and i...

BACKGROUND Tinea pedis and tinea manuum in children are more common than previously recognized. Clinical presentations of dermatophyte infections may vary in children and may be difficult to diagnose. OBJECTIVE To show the necessity of potassium hydroxide preparations and/or fungal cultures in assessing suspicious cases of cellulitis in children who may have dermatophyte infections. PATIENT...
