ABSTRACT
Superficial bacterial infections of the skin are very common. With the increasing burden of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV); this is likely to worsen. Examples of such infections include impetigo; erysipelas; cellulitis; ecthyma; furuncles; carbuncles and subcutaneous abscesses. Common causative organisms are staphylococci and streptococci. Generally; Staphylococcus aureus infections tend to spread locally; causing abscesses and carbuncles; while streptococci are apt to spread along tissue planes; and give rise to either cellulitis or erysipelas. However; this is not always the case. These infections cause a significant morbidity; and have to be diagnosed and treated promptly. Some result in serious complications
