- Abstract
Erysipelas/cellulitis are severe skin infections that are especially dangerous for immunocompromised patients. The most common cause of these diseases is streptococcal infection, but sometimes they may be caused by other Gram-positive or negative bacteria or other factors. Proper diagnosis and treatment should be implemented accurately to prevent dangerous complications. We present a case of severe bullous erysipelas caused by Escherichia coli and discuss the diagnosis, differential diagnosis, and treatment of cellulitis in kidney transplant patients., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest All the authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper., (Copyright © 2024 The Author(s).
