Erysipelas and cellulitis
Erysipelas is an acute superficial bacterial infection involving the upper dermis and superficial lymphatic vessels. It is most commonly caused by Streptococcus pyogenes (Group A Streptococcus) and other β-hemolytic streptococci without pus formation, although Gram-negative bacilli may occasionally be responsible, particularly in immunocompromised patients.
