lüll Erysipelas: a common potentially dangerous infection Celestin R; Brown J; Kihiczak G; Schwartz RAActa Dermatovenerol Alp Pannonica Adriat 2007[Sep]; 16 (3): 123-7Erysipelas is an acute superficial cutaneous cellulitis that commonly occurs not only in elderly and immunocompromised persons, but also in neonates and small children subsequent to bacterial inoculation through a break in the skin barrier. Group A Beta-hemolytic streptococcus (GABHS, Streptoccocus pyogenes) is the usual etiologic agent. Factors that predispose pediatric patients to the development of erysipelas include very young age, diabetes mellitus, an immunocompromised state, and nephrotic syndrome. Patients typically have a well-demarcated, erythematous, indurated, rapidly spreading patch with a palpable advancing border on the face or extremities. Fever with chills and general malaise may be prominent symptoms. Antibiotics are usually effective. Patients handled in a timely manner tend to recover without problems. However, potential complications include abscess formation, necrotizing fasciitis, septicemia, recurrent infection, and lymphedema.|*Erysipelas/complications/diagnosis/drug therapy/microbiology[MESH]|Aged[MESH]|Anti-Bacterial Agents/therapeutic use[MESH]|Diagnosis, Differential[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Infant[MESH]|Infant, Newborn[MESH]|Male[MESH]|Risk Factors[MESH]|Skin Diseases, Infectious/diagnosis[MESH]|Skin/pathology[MESH] |
