Overview
Risk factors for erysipelas are those that predispose one to an inflammatory reaction to Streptococcus infection, including immunocompromised status, being overweight or obese, venous insufficiency, lymphedema, having multiple deep skin lesions or ulcers, and disruptions to the cutaneous barrier.
Risk Factors
The following risk factors contribute to an individual's predisposition to erysipelas:[1][1]
- Immunocompromised status
- Being overweight or obese[1]
- Experiencing a disruption of the cutaneous barrier
- Venous insufficiency
- Lymphedema[2]
- History of mastectomy[3]
- Having multiple deep skin lesions or ulcers, particularly in the leg[2]
