  • Title: Cellulitis and related skin infections.
    Author: Suss SJ, Middleton DB.
    Journal: Am Fam Physician; 1987 Sep; 36(3):126-36. PubMed ID: 3630878.
    Abstract:
    The location, appearance and clinical course of a skin infection can be used to make a reasonable assumption about its etiology. By carefully considering such factors as entry site and immunocompetence, the physician can make a rational decision about hospitalization and treatment. When appropriate, traditional antibiotics should be used initially, thereby avoiding the temptation to "overkill" the infection with newer, more expensive agents.
