Background.
Erysipelas and cellulitis are common, acute, bacterial infections of the skin and subcutaneous tissue.
The incidence of these infections is growing, and the recurrence rate is high.
Effective antibiotic prophylaxis is available, but insufficient data exist on the risks factors for recurrent infection.
Purpose.
To compare comorbidities and laboratory findings in patients with single-episode and recurrent erysipelas/cellulitis in order to identify risk factors for recurrent erysipelas/cellulitis.
Methods.
A cross-sectional study, which included patients hospitalized in the Department of Infectious and Tropical Diseases and Hepatology of the Medical University of Warsaw due to erysipelas and cellulitis during 3 consecutive years (July 2016–June 2019).
Results.
The study included 163 patients, of which 98 had a first episode of erysipelas/cellulitis and 65 had a recurrence.
The recurrent infection was significantly associated with a history of lymphedema (12.3% in the recurrent group vs.
2.0% in the first-episode group, p=0.015), a higher BMI (35.4 vs.
31.2, respectively, p=0.002), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (10.8% vs.
2.0%, p=0.030), and a shorter history of symptoms prior to hospitalization (6.0 days vs.
11.8 days, p=0.004).
Patients with the first episode of infection were more likely to have had minor local trauma directly preceding the symptoms of infection (20.4% in the first-episode group vs.
1.5% in the recurrent group, p=0.001).
Conclusions.
Patients with lymphedema and obesity should be viewed at high risk of developing recurrence of erysipelas and thus should be considered as candidates for antibiotic prophylaxis and other prevention methods.
Minor local trauma directly preceding the skin infection does not by itself confer a higher risk for erysipelas recurrence.
More research is needed to assess the association of recurrent skin and soft-tissue infection to preceding minor local trauma, individual components of the metabolic syndrome, and COPD.
