Sex Differences in Clinical Characteristics and Outcomes in Patients Hospitalized with Cellulitis in Spain (2016-2022): Sex differences in patients hospitalized with cellulitis in Spain. To estimate hospitalization rates, analyze sex-specific clinical characteristics, assess in-hospital mortality and its risk factors, and measure the economic burden of cellulitis hospitalizations . This retrospective population-based study included adults aged ≥15 years hospitalized for cellulitis in Spain from 2016 to 2022. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with in-hospital mortality (IHM). A total of 194,673 cellulitis hospitalizations were recorded (90,828 women and 103,845 men). The mean hospitalization rates per 1,000 admissions and per 100,000 inhabitants were
Under Pressure: Compression stockings for recurrent cellulitis? TOOLS FOR PRACTICE #301 | November 1, 2021 Under Pressure: Compression stockings for recurrent cellulitis? CLINICAL QUESTION Does the use of compression stockings in patients with chronic lower limb edema decrease cellulitis recurrence? BOTTOM LINE In patients with chronic leg edema and recurrent cellulitis , compression therapy reduced recurrence to 15% compared to 40% with education alone at 6 months. Compression stockings are a good treatment option for patients without contraindications, although real-world patient uptake may be limited. EVIDENCE • Randomized control trial of 84 patients with edema for ≥3 months and history of cellulitis (≥2 episodes in the same leg in past two years).1 Compression
Differences in characteristics, aetiologies, isolated pathogens, and the efficacy of antibiotics in adult patients with preseptal cellulitis and orbital cellulitis between 2000-2009 and 2010-2019. To understand whether the epidemiology, aetiologies, common pathogens and the antibiotic efficacy against the identified bacteria of periorbital cellulitis in adults have changed recently (2010-2019 ) compared with the past decade (2000-2009). Adult patients (n=224) diagnosed with preseptal cellulitis and orbital cellulitis admitted to Kaohsiung Veterans General Hospital during 2000-2019 were retrospectively reviewed. Demographic and clinical characteristics, isolated pathogens and antibiotic susceptibility tests against the commonly cultured bacteria were analysed. Preseptal cellulitis showed

Validation of Thermal Imaging and the ALT-70 Prediction Model to Differentiate Cellulitis From Pseudocellulitis. Cellulitis is misdiagnosed in up to 30% of cases due to mimic conditions termed pseudocellulitis. The resulting overuse of antibiotics is a threat to patient safety and public health. Surface thermal imaging and the ALT-70 (asymmetry, leukocytosis, tachycardia, and age ≥70 years ) prediction model have been proposed as tools to help differentiate cellulitis from pseudocellulitis. To validate differences in skin surface temperatures between patients with cellulitis and patients with pseudocellulitis, assess the optimal temperature measure and cut point for differentiating cellulitis from pseudocellulitis, and compare the performance of skin surface temperature and the ALT-70
A comparative phenotypic and genomic analysis of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus ST45 isolates from cellulitis and from osteomyelitis in Taiwan. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) sequence type (ST) 45 is a globally disseminated MRSA lineage. Herein, we investigated whether MRSA ST45 isolates from cellulitis and from osteomyelitis display distinctive phenotypic and genomic characteristics. A total of 15 MRSA ST45 isolates from cellulitis (CL-MRSAs; n = 6) or osteomyelitis (OM-MRSAs; n = 9) were collected in a Taiwan hospital. These MRSA ST45 isolates were characterized for their antimicrobial susceptibility, biofilm-forming ability, cellular infectivity in vitro, and pathogenicity in vivo. Four CL-MRSA and six OM-MRSA ST45 isolates were selected for whole-genome
