soft-tissue infections (SSTIs), which include infections of skin, subcutaneous tissue, fascia, and muscle, encompass a wide spectrum of clinical presentations, ranging from simple cellulitis to rapidly progressive necrotizing fasciitis. Diagnosing the exact extent of the disease is critical for successful management of a patient of soft-tissue infection. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
The various types of SSTIs, listed according to clinical presentation and anatomic location, include the following:
Impetigo
Folliculitis
Furuncles
Carbuncles
Erysipelas
Cellulitis
Necrotizing fasciitis, also known as hemolytic streptococcal gangrene, Meleney ulcer, synergistic gangrene, and Fournier gangrene (when localized to the scrotum and perineal area)
