BACKGROUND: Abscess formation is a frequent local complication of leg erysipelas.
In this study we aimed at identifying factors associated with abscess formation
of leg erysipelas in patients in sub-Saharan African countries. METHOD: This is a
multicenter prospective study conducted in dermatology units in eight sub-Saharan
African countries from October 2013 to September 2014. We performed univariate
and multivariate analysis to compare characteristics among the group of patients
with leg erysipelas complicated with abscess against those without this
complication. RESULTS: In this study, 562 cases of leg erysipelas were recruited
in the eight sub-Saharan African countries. The mean age of patients was 43.67
years (SD =16.8) (Range: 15 to 88 years) with a sex-ratio (M/F) of 5/1. Out of
the 562 cases, 63 patients (11.2%) had abscess formation as a complication. In
multivariate analysis showed that the main associated factors with this
complication were: nicotine addiction (aOR?=?3.7; 95 % CI?=?[1.3 - 10.7]) and
delayed antibiotic treatment initiation (delay of 10 days or more) (aOR?=?4.6; 95
% CI?=?[1.8 - 11.8]). CONCLUSION: Delayed antibiotics treatment and nicotine
addiction are the main risk factors associated with abscess formation of leg
erysipelas in these countries. However, chronic alcohol intake, which is
currently found in Europe as a potential risk factor, was less frequent in our
study.
