title: [Erysipelas as the cause of lymphedema].
abstract: The results of the treatment of 237 patients with lymphedema and recurrent erysipelas are analyzed. Direct correlation between the number of erysipelas in anamnesis and degree of lymphedema, and also their reciprocal aggravation are demonstrated that permits us to regard erysipelas as the cause of lymphedema.
