2.6.2. Erysipelas: A Fire on the Skin

This clinical deep dive focuses on erysipelas, an acute and superficial skin infection that presents as a fiery, sharply demarcated rash. We'll explore the microbial culprits, evidence-based treatment protocols, and how to differentiate it from its deeper cousin, cellulitis. Join us as we define the classic presentation of erysipelas and identify the primary pathogen, Streptococcus pyogenes (Group A Strep). We'll cover the first-line treatment protocols, with a strong emphasis on penicillin-based therapies. Learn about crucial prevention and control measures, especially for patients with risk factors like lymphedema and tinea pedis. Finally, we'll discuss serious complications and test your knowledge with a clinical case challenge to solidify your understanding of this distinct dermatological infection.
