Acute cellulitis

Acute cellulitis is an acute diffuse suppurative infection of the subcutaneous, subfascial, intermuscular, or deep cellulite. Its characteristics are that the lesion is not easy to be localized, spreads rapidly, and has no obvious boundary with normal tissue. Inflammation can be caused by infection after skin or soft tissue damage, or it can occur through the direct spread of local purulent infections through lymph and blood flow. Acute cellulitis caused by hemolytic streptococcus, due to the effects of streptokinase and hyaluronidase, the lesions expand rapidly and sometimes can cause sepsis. Cellulitis caused by staphylococci can be easily limited to abscesses.
