Genetic susceptibility to non-necrotizing erysipelas/cellulitis.
<h4>Background</h4>Bacterial non-necrotizing erysipelas and cellulitis are often recurring, diffusely spreading infections of the skin and subcutaneous tissues caused most commonly by streptococci. Host genetic factors influence infection susceptibility but no extensive studies on the ge...
