Overview
Common risk factors in the development of erysipelas include immunodeficiency, diabetes, alcoholism, skin ulceration, fungal infections and impaired lymphatic drainage.
Risk Factors
This disease is most common among the elderly, infants, and children. People with immune deficiency, diabetes, alcoholism, skin ulceration, fungal infections and impaired lymphatic drainage (e.g., after mastectomy, pelvic surgery, bypass grafting) are also at increased risk.
