cellulitis/비만증

No cohort studies have evaluated the effect of obesity on the risk of cellulitis according to metabolic health status. We investigated an association of BMI and metabolic health status with the development of cellulitis. We conducted a cohort study of 171,322 Korean adults who underwent a health

OBJECTIVE Cellulitis in obese patients is associated with increased rates of treatment failure compared to those with normal body mass index (BMI); however, patients have not been extensively studied in the outpatient environment or stratified based on range of obesity and associated risk factors.

OBJECTIVE Identification of adequate antimicrobial dosing regimens for morbidly obese patients is essential given the simultaneous increase in morbid obesity and cellulitis prevalence in recent years. Insufficient data currently exist to describe the effectiveness of extrapolating traditional

BACKGROUND Linezolid is an oxazolidinone antimicrobial with excellent oral bioavailability and tissue penetration and is active against multidrug-resistant skin/soft tissue pathogens. OBJECTIVE To study the pharmacokinetics and antibacterial activity of linezolid against selective skin/soft tissue

A 59-year-old obese Japanese man with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus presented with severe heartburn for 3 days after inguinal cellulitis and exacerbated glycemic control, without any signs of upper gastrointestinal bleeding.

BACKGROUND Tedizolid phosphate 200 mg, once daily for 6 days, has recently been approved for the treatment of patients with acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSIs) in several countries; however, clinical experience in real-life settings is currently limited. Here, we report on

Cellulitis is a common infection of the skin and subcutaneous tissues. It is associated with significant morbidity from necrosectomies and amputations especially in sub-Saharan Africa. We aimed at identifying the risk factors and burden of lower limb cellulitis to inform preventive strategies in

There is no relation between what French women call "cellulitis" and the venous problems of genetic origin. It may be that cellulitis is the name given to those extra kilos, to mild obesity, to fatty deposits on the thighs and buttocks (sub-trochanteric and crural steatomeries: "jodhpurs"); the

BACKGROUND Erysipelas and cellulitis are relatively common cutaneous infections that can sometimes be the cause of a prolonged hospital admission. The objective of this study was to determine the most relevant epidemiologic factors and their influence on the length of hospital stay, comparing our

BACKGROUND There is substantial allocation of resources directed towards evaluation and management of lower limb cellulitis (LLC) in the acute care setting. Readmission for LLC is poorly understood, and there is little evidence with which to identify patients at risk for readmission. OBJECTIVE To

OBJECTIVE This study aimed to quantify the rate of transfer of care or overstay from cellulitis management in the emergency short stay unit (ESSU) and to identify risk factors during initial assessment associated with transfer of care or overstay. METHODS A retrospective cohort study was conducted

BACKGROUND This study aimed to profile the clinical characteristics of patients presenting to Middlemore Hospital with cellulitis in order to identify factors that are associated with an increased length of stay (LOS). METHODS Retrospective clinical data were collected for all patients aged 18 and
