BACKGROUND This case report documents the affliction of the lymph vessels as a phenotypic feature of neurofibromatosis-1 (NF-1). METHODS Routine transthoracic echocardiography, computed tomography scan of the thorax, magnetic resonance angiography of the renal arteries, and conventional digital

Erysipelas. Erysipelas is a non-necrotizing acute dermohypodermitis of streptococcal origin (group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus) that usually affects adults and tends to reoccur. Risk factors recognized by the 2000 Consensus Conference are lymphedema, the existence of a gateway and obesity.

Few epidemiological data related to erysipelas or cellulitis is available in the literature. Descriptive data, such as incidence, has mainly been assessed in hospital settings, and exceptionally in the general population. In the only case-control study available, main risk factors for erysipelas of

BACKGROUND Erysipelas is an acute infection occurring chiefly in the lower limbs, rarely in the upper limbs. METHODS A 45-year-old patient suffering from Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease with neuropathy of the limbs, presented with fever and a 24-hour history of a well-circumscribed inflammatory and

BACKGROUND Risk factors for erysipelas (cellulitis) were rarely evaluated in controlled studies. Regional variations of these risk factors have never be assessed. OBJECTIVE To assess risk factors for erysipelas of the leg in Tunisia. METHODS Case-control study in seven hospital centers in Tunisia.

BACKGROUND The similarities between erysipelas in animals and rheumatic diseases in man have been discussed since the work of Nieberle (1931). The present work sets out to investigate the course of organ manifestations in pigs, rats, and mice using germ-free or specific pathogen-free experimental

Bacterial skin infections, such as erysipelas or cellulitis, are characterized by fever and a painful erythematous rash. Despite the high prevalence of these infections, little is known about the underlying pathogenic mechanisms. This is partly due to the fact that a bacterial diagnosis is often

Gross and histopathologic lesions were studied in 10 Broad-Breasted White turkeys with acute erysipelas induced experimentally. The gross pathologic features of the disease conformed very closely with descriptions in the literature (7). Histopathologic evaluation was concentrated on the inoculation

Report of a 55-year-old-male patient with most serious anasarca caused by insufficiency right heart. The reason of the heart failure was probably rheumatic carditis caused by streptococcal infections which followed recurrent erysipelas both legs with phleblymphedema. The necessity of consistent

The diagnosis of erysipelas is usually made clinically. Features that help distinguish erysipelas are acute onset, erythema, warmth, edema, pain, fever, and isolated regional involvement with clearly demarcated margins. High ASO titers and response to penicillin therapy are reassuring. Simple

BACKGROUND Erysipelas, an acute infection of the dermal and subcutaneous tissue, is normally treated with antibiotics. Previous data indicated that treatment with prednisone in combination with antibiotics results in significant acceleration of the healing phase. OBJECTIVE To investigate the

Erysipelas is a non-necrotizing acute dermal hypodermatitis most often of streptococcal origin. It most often affects the lower limbs. Erysipelas on surgical scar has been rarely reported in the literature. Few cases have been published since the first descriptions of this pathological entity by

Erysipelas is a serious infection of the skin. In case of delay in initiating adequate antibiotic treatment, complications, sometimes dismal, can supervene. In addition, erysipelas shows a tendancy to recurrences. The prevention of an episode of erysipelas calls for correct personal hygiene and
