Sweet's syndrome masquerading as facial cellulitis.

Sweet's syndrome, or acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis, is a cutaneous condition that typically occurs as tender red plaques or nodules. However, atypical presentations may occur and, in our case, Sweet's syndrome masqueraded as facial cellulitis and soft tissue infections of the extremities in a sporotrichoid pattern. Despite treatment with broad-spectrum antibiotics, the cutaneous lesions progressed. Results of skin biopsy specimens of the facial plaque and a nodule on the right upper extremity were diagnostic of Sweet's syndrome. Simultaneous to diagnosis, the patient also was found to have acute myelogenous leukemia (AML).

Preseptal and orbital cellulitis.

The patient with a tender, erythematous, swollen eyelid represents a complex clinical challenge to the physician, who must arrive at a correct diagnosis from numerous differential possibilities. Knowledge of the anatomy of the orbit and surrounding structures and proper clinical and radiologic examination are necessary to accurately diagnose these conditions. Proper selection of antibiotic therapy and timely surgical intervention, directed at both the orbital infection and the underlying condition, are essential to avoid serious morbidity from these infections. This article reviews in detail preseptal cellulitis, Hemophilus influenzae type B infection in children, orbital infection related to paranasal sinusitis, orbital infection from other causes, and mycotic infections of the orbit.

Persistent cellulitis in a patient receiving renal dialysis.

Cryptococcus neoformans, an opportunistic fungus, may cause cutaneous disease by dissemination from primary lung infection or, more rarely, by direct cutaneous inoculation. Cellulitis in an immunocompromised host who does not respond to conventional antibacterial therapy should alert the physician to consider other diagnoses, including cryptococcal skin infection.

Atraumatic severe streptococcal axillary cellulitis.

Axillary streptococcal cellulitis is rare but has been known to clinicians for years. Usually associated with trauma, it may, however, occur in previously healthy individuals who for unknown reasons can be slowly responsive to appropriate antibiotics.

Giant twin sialoliths presenting with acute cellulitis: a case report.

Sialolithiasis is a process of unknown aetiology in which calculus concretions form in the salivary gland ducts and tissue. It may occur at any age but it is most common in middle-aged adults. A case is presented of the occurrence of double giant sialoliths in the left Wharton's duct in a 16-year-old boy. The clinical symptoms and signs were somewhat atypical and included acute suppurative cellulitis in the floor of the mouth plus localized periodontitis involving 36. Under a local anaesthetic the stones were surgically extracted and healing was uneventful. Proper interpretation of symptoms and thoughtful investigation for localization of salivary stones is emphasized.

Musculoskeletal features of acne, hidradenitis suppurativa, and dissecting cellulitis of the scalp.

This article describes the various forms of acne and the clinical and radiographic features of the associated musculoskeletal manifestations. Occasionally, acne may occur together with hidradenitis suppurativa and dissecting cellulitis of the scalp, the so called "follicular occlusion triad." The current understanding of the etiology of these conditions and their treatment are also reviewed.

[Pre-septal orbital cellulitis from odentogenic origin--combined surgical and endodontic approach: a case report].

Orbital abscesses are common infectious diseases. The etiology of orbital abscesses may vary from common sinusitis in most of the cases, to cocaine sniffing. As a result of the proximity to the brain, orbital abscesses may complicate to life threatening situations. The infectious process spreads to the orbit in several ways: hematogenous, via anatomic spaces in the maxillofacial region, direct invasion. The treatment philosophy combines surgical and Antibiotic therapy to resolve the acute phase of the disease, followed by elimination of the source. The purpose of this paper is to report a case of pre septal orbital cellulitis, that was treated surgically combined with endodontic therapy. To describe the different subtypes of orbital abscesses, differential diagnosis, imaging and treatment options.

Nonclostridial cellulitis with subcutaneous emphysema.

Nonclostridial cellulitis with concomitant gas formation in the plantar tissues of the foot is seldomly reported in the literature. The event itself, however, may actually be relatively common. A review of the literature and a case study involving a diabetic patient is presented, along with a review of the etiology, diagnosis, and treatment.

Erythromelalgia misdiagnosed as cellulitis.

This case report examines the presentation of a patient with erythromelalgia that was misdiagnosed as cellulitis on several prior occasions. The presentation of bilateral acral edema and erythema, especially in the setting of myeloproliferative and/or connective tissue diseases, should alert the physician to the possibility of alternate diagnoses, including erythromelalgia. Treatments target symptom alleviation, as well as diagnosis and treatment of causative factors.

[A review of the management of orbital cellulitis].

Twenty cases of orbital cellulitis were presented requiring hospitalization. Of theses their clinical history, diagnostic criteria, treatment and evolution was revised. It was observed that it is an unusual complication of sinusal pathology of which the precocious hospitalization multidisciplinary treatment avoids the appearance of endocranial complication.

Peri-umbilical cellulitis in Nigerian neonates.

A retrospective analysis was made of 32 neonates with peri-umbilical cellulitis seen at Wesley Guild Hospital, Ilesa, Nigeria from 1979 through 1989. All were full term and delivered after a normal pregnancy. The male:female ratio was 1.3:1. On admission, the mean (Standard Deviation) post-natal age, weight and duration of symptoms were 7.3 (2.7) days, 3.21 (0.5) kg, and 1.9 (1.3) days respectively. Major features were abdominal distension, extensive peri-umbilical induration and inflammation, and foul-smelling discharge. Most mother had antenatal care, but 60 pc were delivered at home or in the mission house. There were no recognisable maternal risk factors. Hot fomentation and unsterile materials applied to the cord were the apparent causative factors. The case fatality rate was very high (71.9 pc). Recommended treatment was antibiotics and surgical debridement. If hospital delivery were accessible to the less privileged poor, this highly lethal condition could be prevented by facilitating instruction in simple sterile cord care.

Eosinophilic cellulitis and dermographism.

A 26-year-old man presented with a history of intermittent erythematous plaques on his hands and legs. A peripheral blood eosinophilia was noted. Histopathologic examination showed numerous eosinophils and characteristic flame figures. The clinical presentation and histopathologic alterations are consistent with the diagnosis of Wells' syndrome, which is also known as eosinophilic cellulitis. Wells' syndrome is a rare condition of unclear etiology. We discuss its diagnosis and possible association with other conditions that manifest peripheral eosinophilia.

[Unspecific cervical cellulitis of sudden appearance. Report of an atypical case].

We report an atypical case of sudden and unspecific cervical cellulitis in a 74 yaers old woman with psoriasis as the only remarkable antecedent. After the initial exploration and successive ones we did not find any etiological causes for her symptoms. CT showed an increase of soft parts on the left side of the neck with displacemnet of the upper airway without purulent collection or abscess. The patient was admitted in IUC and was treated endovenously with cloxaciline and imipenem with good response and satisfactory evolution.

[Rat bite: an unusual cause of orbital cellulitis].

Rat bite is rarely reported in the literature. We report the case of a 33-year-old woman who was bitten by a rat on her upper eyelid. The clinical examination showed a large palpebral edema extending to the side of the face, associated with local signs of inflammation. Visual acuity was preserved and tomodensitometry showed a small exophthalmia that did not extend to the sinuses. This lesion led to a diagnosis of orbital cellulitis. Progression was favorable with antibiotics: amoxicillin, clavulanic acid, gentamicin, and metronidazole. The authors discuss the compromised prognosis of this disease and the necessity of rapid diagnosis and prompt therapeutic management.

[Peri-rectal infectious cellulitis with septicemia of anal origin. Suppository on trial].

Rectal route with local or general effects, is an interesting possibility of treatment. Easy use and rapid absorption are two major advantages. But this therapeutic modality is not riskless. We report a case of septicemia with peri-rectal cellulitis which was generated by two ano-rectal ulcerations after using Trophires suppositories. The infection was favoured by local application of cortisone. Our original observation, with ano-rectal ulcerations and short use of suppository, confirms the idea of short-term treatment stopped in case of unwanted symptom.
