“…Three well-defined clinical categories of Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae infection in human beings have been described: (1) the localized cutaneous form (erysipeloid of Rosenbach); (2) a severe generalized cutaneous form; and (3) a septicaemic form with or without cutaneous involvement (Klauder, 1944).…”

“…Erysipeloid is a self-limiting disease, and varying periods have been given for the length of time it may run its course before fading out if no treatment is given: seven days to eight months by Klauder (1938), and one to six weeks by Sequeira et al (1947); and Stiles (1947) records a case of chronic erysipeloid of nine years' duration which was eventually cured by penicillin.…”

“…Four clinical entities have been described in swine: (i) an acute septic form, (ii) a subacute urticarial form marked by reddish-purple rhomboid spots or "diamonds" in the skin, (iii) a joint or arthritic form, and (iv) a chronic cardiac form (endocarditis) (14,29,68,69). The spectrum of disease seen in humans closely parallels that seen in swine (17,27,48,57).…”

Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae is a nonsporulating, gram-positive, rod-shaped bacterium which was identified more than 100 years ago as the etiologic agent of swine erysipelas. Since then, it has been found to cause infection in several dozen species of mammals and other animals. Humans become infected through exposure to infected or contaminated animals or animal products. By far the most common type of human infection is a localized, self-limited cutaneous lesion, erysipeloid. Diffuse cutaneous and systemic infections occur rarely. Approximately 50 cases of endocarditis have been reported; all but one recent case have involved native valves. The organism may be isolated from biopsy or blood specimens on standard culture media. It is identified by morphology, lack of motility, and biochemical characteristics; identification may be confirmed by the mouse protection test. It is susceptible to penicillins, cephalosporins, erythromycin, and clindamycin, but it is often resistant to many other antibiotics, including vancomycin, a drug frequently used in empiric therapy for infections due to gram-positive bacteria.
