A 7 year-old male presented with recurrent fever, cough and respiratory distress for over last 2 years. Based on extremely high eosinophil count, high Immunoglobulin E, increase in eosinophilic precursors in bone marrow, and positive antigen test for Wuchereria bancrofti, a diagnosis of Tropical Pulmonary Eosinophilia with Eosinophilic Leukemoid Reaction was made. Complete recovery was achieved...

BACKGROUND An anaphylactoid purpura affects small capillaries in the skin and other organs. Although two cases of anaphylactoid purpura exacerbated by cellulitis have been reported in Japanese literatures, its prognosis remains still unclear. Because cellulitis exacerbates various cutaneous inflammations, it has been speculated that cellulitis might also exacerbate cutaneous inflammation, such ...

Cellulitis is a rare manifestation of meningococcal disease. We describe the case of a previously healthy 4-month-old female infant who developed periorbital cellulitis associated with meningococcal meningitis. Pediatrics 2005;116:e874–e875. URL: www.pediatrics.org/ cgi/doi/10.1542/peds.2005-0694; meningitis, meningococcal disease. ABBREVIATION. CSF, cerebrospinal fluid. Periorbital cellulitis ...

BACKGROUND Acute bacterial cellulitis is a potentially serious infection that commonly recurs. The identification of preventable risk factors could reduce infection-related morbidity and cost and improve patient management. The aim of this study was to identify the risk factors associated with lower-limb cellulitis, including both analysis of risk factors associated with cellulitis in either li...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the prevalence and associated factors involved in cellulitis with lymphangitis among a group of Korean patients who were being treated for lymphedema. We present our epidemiologic research and we also report a systematic review of these types of cases. METHODS This was a retrospective medical record study among 1,246 patients diagnosed with lymphedema. The study was carr...

1. Recognize the difference between periorbital and orbital cellulitis on the basis of history and physical examination findings. 2. Describe the cause, pathophysiology, and management of periorbital and orbital cellulitis. 3. Understand the importance of sinus disease in both periorbital and orbital cellulitis. 4. Know the indications for computed tomography scan and specialist consultation fo...

BACKGROUND Prior studies repeatedly showed that cultures of skin lesions diagnosed as "cellulitis" are usually negative. However, lack of a gold standard for diagnosis (against which culture might be judged) and failure to assess the human immune response are important limitations of prior work. In this pilot study, we aimed to develop a criterion standard for research on bacterial cellulitis, ...

eosinophilic gastroenteritis is a rare disease of unknown etiology. it is characterized by eosinophilic infiltration of the gastrointestinal tract wall (especially stomach and small bowel). symptoms and signs of this disease depend on the involved layer of gastrointestinal tract. hereby, we are presenting a patient with abdominal pain since one month ago that aggregated with meals. the patient ...

Introduction:  Eosinophilic mucin rhinosinusitis is a type of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Diagnosis and treatment of this condition play a significant role in reducing the patients’ clinical symptoms. This type of rhinosinusitis has a higher relapse rate, compared to the other types. This disease is more resistant to treatment and more dependent on corticosteroid therapy, compared to the oth...
