Practice guidelines for the diagnosis and management of skin and soft-tissue infections.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARYSoft-tissue infections are common, generally of mild tomodest severity, and are easily treated with a variety ofagents. An etiologic diagnosis of simple cellulitis is fre-quently difﬁcult and generally unnecessary for patientswith mild signs and symptoms of illness. Clinical as-sessment of the severity of infection is crucial, and sev-eral classiﬁcation schemes and algorithms have beenproposed to guide the clinician [1]. However, mostclinical assessments have been developed from eitherretrospective studies or from an author’s own “clinicalexperience,” illustrating the need for prospectivestudieswith deﬁned measurements of severity coupled to man-agement issues and outcomes.Until then, it is the recommendation of this com-mittee that patients with soft-tissue infection accom-panied by signs and symptoms of systemic toxicity (e.g.,fever or hypothermia, tachycardia [heart rate,
