[Which treatment for erysipelas? Antibiotic treatment: drugs and methods of administering].
Erysipelas is an acute, bacterial cellulitis involving the derma and hypoderma, without necrosis, usually due to Streptococcus pyogenes. Penicilline remains the 'gold standard' treatment. However, others drugs, given their pharmacodynamic properties, may have an excellent indication here. Reccurence is the main evolutive risk.
