Child Erysipelas: About 16 Pediatric Cases
Journal Title: International Journal of Pediatric Health Care & Advancements (IJPA) - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Erysipelas is an acute or sub-acute non necrotizing bacterial dermo-hypodermitis , caused most frequently by beta-hemolytic group A streptococci. It is a relatively frequent pathology in adults and the elderly, but rare in children and infants. Through the analysis of 16 cases of pediatric erysipelas we evaluate the epidemiological, clinico-biological, therapeutic and outcomes characteristics of erysipelas in children and infants.
