Impetigo can be classified in various ways. It can be classified as bullous, non-bullous and ecthyma. It can also be classified as primary or secondary to a disease or process. Another classification pattern is with respect to the involved pathogen as staphylococcal or streptococcal impetigo. Non-bullous impetigo also known as "impetigo contagiosa" is caused by both [[Staphylococci]] and [[Streptococci]] and is estimated to make almost 70% of its cases.<ref name="pmid17390597">{{cite journal| author=Cole C, Gazewood J| title=Diagnosis and treatment of impetigo. | journal=Am Fam Physician | year= 2007 | volume= 75 | issue= 6 | pages= 859-64 | pmid=17390597 | doi= | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=17390597 }} </ref> | |||
