Abstract
#Erythema nodosum migrans was a challenging diagnosis in a
91-year-old woman. The disorder presented features of cutaneous and deep
subcutaneous inflammation with a recurrent and migratory course. The
extensive lesions were unresponsive to antibiotics as well as topical
and #systemic corticosteroid treatment. Awareness to this rare and
confusing condition might allow for earlier diagnosis and treatment.
Cellulitis is an acute spreading infection of the skin that also
involves the #subcutaneous tissues. Cellulitis and erysipelas are
‘nonculturable’ skin infections. Most cases of cellulitis are caused by
#beta-hemolytic streptococci. Patients typically develop high fever,
chills, headache, vomiting and general symptoms within 48 hours of
infection.
