ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Cellulitis is an acute infection of the dermal and subcutaneous layers of the skin, which is commonly treated by a dermatologist but there are few reports about clinical data on cellulitis in Korean literature.OBJECTIVE:
This study evaluated the clinical characteristics of inpatients diagnosed as cellulitis in the recent 5 years.METHODS:
We reviewed the medical records of 77 patients who were diagnosed as cellulitis and hospitalized at the Kangbuk Samsung Hospital from March 2008 to February 2013.RESULTS:
The study included data from 77 patients with cellulitis (mean age, 51.7 years; 44 men, 33 women). There was a positive correlation between age and hospitalized days (p0.05). Systemic steroid was administered in 21 patients (27.3%), and was not significantly related to hospitalized days (p>0.05).CONCLUSION:
The clinical course of cellulitis was inversely correlated to the elevation of patient's age, WBC count, and CRP.
