Abstract

Introduction: Cellulitis and skin infections are a common bacterial infection of the skin and soft tissue that causes acute inflammation in the dermis and surrounding subcutaneous tissue. Treatment of this condition has always been of concern and there is currently little research on this issue. Objective: Describe the clinical characteristics and evaluate the treatment results of cellulitis and skin infections at Can Tho City Dermatology Hospital in 2024. Materials and methods: Cross-sectional descriptive study at Can Tho City Dermatology Hospital, including 31 patients diagnosed with cellulitis and skin infections from June 2024 to October 2024. Results: The study showed that cellulitis and skin infections mainly occurred in patients over 40 years old (54.7%), with the majority being male (61.3%). Most patients were workers (58.1%) and had an overweight BMI (54.8%). Clinically, hospitalized patients often had mild fever, lesions mainly in the lower limbs (67.7%), accompanied by pus (67.7%) and pain. Antibiotic treatment gave positive results, with 100% of patients reducing the amount of inflammation by 80-100% and 93.5% responding well. The average treatment time was less than 14 days. Conclusion: Clinical features of cellulitis and skin infections are manifested by lesions in the lower limbs, accompanied by symptoms such as swelling, redness, pain and the appearance of pus. The effectiveness of antibiotic treatment was noted to be positive, with most patients responding well and recovering quickly.
