Overview
Boils (furuncles) are generally caused by an infection of the hair follicles by Staphylococcus aureus or Staphylococcus epidermidis.
Causes
Common causes of boils include:[1]
Bacteria:
- Staphylococcus aureus is the most common cause of furunculosis.
- Colonization of Staphylococcus aureus in the anterior nares and in the warm, moist skin folds such as behind ears, under pendulous breasts and in the groin plays a definitive role in the etiology of chronic or recurrent furunculosis.[2]
- Infection with Methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with furunculosis.[3]
Other bacterial causes:
- Enterobacteriaceae
- Enterococci
- Corynebacterium
- Streptococcus epidermidis
- Streptococcus pyogenes
- Pseudomonas Aeruginosa
Fungal causes
- Candida
- Pityrosporum species
Other causes
- Ingrown hair
- Blocked glands
