Cellulitis is a diffuse infection of connective tissue with severe inflammation of dermal and subcutaneous layers of the skin. Cellulitis can be caused by normal skin flora or by exogenous bacteria, and often occurs where the skin has previously been broken: cracks in the skin, cuts, blisters, burns, insect bites, surgical wounds, or sites of intravenous catheter insertion. Skin on the face or lower legs is most commonly affected by this infection, though cellulitis can occur on any part of the body. The mainstay of therapy remains treatment with appropriate antibiotics.
Early symptoms may include fever, headache, nausea, or itching and early signs of redness on the affected area.

Cellulitis is characterized by redness, swelling, warmth, and pain or tenderness. Cellulitis frequently occurs on exposed areas of the body such as the arms, legs, feet, and face. Other symptoms can include fever or chills and headaches. In advanced cases of cellulitis, red streaks (sometimes described as 'fingers') may be seen traveling up the affected area. The swelling can spread rapidly.
Cellulitis is caused by a type of bacteria entering by way of a break in the skin. This break need not be visible. Group A Streptococcus and Staphylococcus are the most common of these bacteria, which are part of the normal flora of the skin but cause no actual infection until the skin is broken. Predisposing conditions for cellulitis include insect bite, blistering, animal bite, tattoos, pruritic skin rash, recent surgery, athlete's foot, dry skin, eczema, injecting drugs (especially subcutaneous or intramuscular injection or where an attempted IV injection "misses" or blows the vein); plus burns and boils, though there is debate as to whether minor foot lesions contribute and also morbidly obese people can experience it.

La celulitis (literalmente significa inflamación de las células) en medicina, es entendida como una inflamación de los tejidos conectivos celulares subcutáneos. Un tipo de tejido, conjuntivo, areolar, densamente poblado por células en especial, adipocitos.

Está causada por una infección bacteriana, que puede venir de bacterias exógenas o de la flora cutánea normal.

A menudo ocurre cuando la piel se ha roto: heridas, cortes, quemaduras, picaduras de insecto, y otros. Se trata a base de antibióticos, o con cirugía en casos graves.
La celulitis se debe a unos tipos de bacterias que entran en la piel cuando ésta se rompe por algún punto (que no siempre es visible).

Los estreptococos de grupo A y los estafilococos son los principales causantes. Normalmente viven en la superficie de la piel (flora cutánea) pero no causan infección hasta que la piel se rompe.

Algunos casos en los que esto puede pasar son:

Picadura de insecto o mordedura de animal.
Prurito
Cirugía reciente
Pie de atleta
Eczema
Quemaduras y sarpullidos.
Otras heridas sin desinfectar
Es común que la celulitis se dé en zonas del cuerpo desprotegidas, como los brazos, piernas o cara.
Las bacterias que causan inflamación suelen ser:
Haemophilus influenzae.
Streptococcus del grupo B que han pasado por hemólisis.
Streptococcus pneumoniae.




Erysipelas is the term used for a more superficial infection of the dermis and upper subcutaneous layer that presents clinically with a well defined edge. Erysipelas and cellulitis often coexist, so it is often difficult to make a distinction between the two.
Cellulitis is unrelated to cellulite, a cosmetic condition featuring dimpling of the skin.
