Risk factors in skin infections - a pilot study

Methods We included patients presenting to our emergency department from mid February to mid April 2010, were over 18 years, had physical and mental capacity to answer the questions related to the study and had suspected cellulitis. We documented demographic information on each patient, the length of stay at the emergency department, whether the patient was admitted or sent discharged, what antibiotics were used and whether it was given intravenously or orally.
