Identified pathogens usually involve
Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes;
other less common ones also exist.
Published data on incidence is unreliable
because of the variability and often inconsistent
clinical practice in managing this
condition (Clinical Resource Efficiency
Support Team, 2005; Kilburn et al, 2003).
There is no statistically significant difference
in the incidence of cellulitis in men
and women (McNamara et al, 2007).
Studies have found a higher incidence of
cellulitis in general among people over 45
years (Björnsdóttir et al, 2005).
