Cellulitis Recurrence Score: A tool for predicting recurrence of lower limb cellulitis

Epidemiology and risk factors for recurrent severe lower limb cellulitis: a longitudinal cohort study

“…The findings regarding risk factors for recurrent LLC are consistent with other case-control studies where age, obesity, lymphedema, heart failure, chronic pulmonary disease, peripheral vascular disease, and liver disease have been shown to be associated with recurrent LLC [5,7,16,17]. Taken together, our data suggest that any factors associated with swelling of the lower leg, by local venous, lymphatic, or arterial insufficiency, or through systemic disorders that promote lower limb oedema, are consistent factors in LLC recurrence.…”

“…Recurrent LLC may be more severe, with longer hospitalization, and have a more pronounced inflammatory response than primary LLC episodes [7]. As with primary episodes, recurrent LLC may also result in substantial long-term morbidity because of complications such as post-cellulitis oedema, leg ulceration, lymphatic dysfunction, and skin disease [5,6,8], all features that may themselves predispose to subsequent episodes.…”

Recurrent SDSE bacteraemia resulting in streptococcal toxic shock syndrome in a patient with Noonan syndrome

“…Findings after the first episode in our patient suggests that antibiotic treatment for 3 weeks was insufficient for controlling infection in patients with strongly predisposing factors. Studies on the potential role of prophylactic antibiotics in reducing recurrence are ongoing 13. Of course, it is hard to generalise the appropriateness of antibiotic prophylaxis from only one case.…”

Assessment of the risk factors of recurrent lower extremity cellulits and the effect of clinical and laboratory findings on treatment response

“…Yaptıkları tek değişkenli analiz sonucunda, risk faktörü olarak tinea pedis istatistiksel yönden anlamlı bulunmuştur. Çok değişkenli analiz sonucunda ise istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark bulmadıklarını belirtmişlerdir [23]. Alt ekstemite rekürren selülitlerinin incelendiği başka bir çalışmada ise tinea pedis ile rekürren selülit arasında istatistiksel bir ilişki olmadığı bildirilmiştir [9].…”
