Definition/Description
Cellulitis is a localized bacterial skin infection, which typically affects the lower limbs but can occur on any area of skin and underlying subcutaneous tissue (1,2). It is characterized by acute onset of redness, inflammation, pain, and swelling of the affected area. Accompanying symptoms include generalized fever, rigors, nausea, and vomiting (1). The infection is most commonly caused by B-Hemolytic Streptococci bacteria and reoccurs up to 50% of the time in the lower extremity (1, 3). Most individuals diagnosed with cellulitis have a low risk of severe complications but few suffers can have severe sepsis, local gangrene, and/or necrotising fasciitis. (1)
Prevalence
- 650,000 hospital admissions per year in the United States are due to Cellulitis.5
- When hospitalized, patients with recurrent cellulitis require longer hospitalizations relative to nonrelapsing Cellulitis patients.5
- From 1998-2006, 10% of all infectious-disease hospitalizations were related to Cellulitis5
- 22-49% of patients who have cellulitis report at least one previous episode5
- Recurrences, typically in the same location, occur approximately 14% of cellulitis cases within 1 year and in 45% of cases within 3 years5
