Skin disorders bacterial infections

Cellulitis and erysipelas are bacterial infections of the skin. Although separate entities, there is some clinical difficulty in distinguishing the two. 0 Cellulitis is a bacterial infection of the dermis and subcutaneous tissue, whereas erysipelas is a more superficial infection of the upper dermis and superficial lymphatics. Although both can occur on any part of the body, about 90% of infections involve the leg.8,9 Another 7.5% of cases involve the arm or face. Erysipelas is most common in the young and the elderly. Typically, both infections develop after a break in skin integrity, resulting from trauma, surgery, ulceration, burns, tinea infection, or other skin disorder.

CL in clinical practice is mainly used for diagnostics and pathogenesis research to estimate as antigens and immune complexes. The pathogenesis of influenza, arthritis, bacterial infections, hyper-holesterinemia and malformations can be followed by this method [20, 21]. CL can also be used in diagnosis of skin diseases, cancer, allergy, intestinal inflammation, heart disease, neuronal-muscle disorders, diabetes, renal failure and trauma [22, 23]. Immune analysis is one of the important and special applications of the enhanced CL method [24]. 

St. John s wort has been used to treat a wide range of ailments for more than 2000 years, and is said to have been prescribed by Hippocrates himself. Apart from depression, St. John s wort is being promoted or used as a treatment for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety, stress, obsessive-compulsive disorder, sleep problems, nocturnal enuresis, bacterial and viral infections such as HIV-AIDS, respiratory conditions, peptic ulceration, inflammatory arthritis, cancer, and skin wounds (Rey and Walter, 1998 Walter et ah, 2000).

Cytokine concentrations reflect the severity of some diseases and are markers of prognosis. This is particularly applicable for infectious diseases (bacterial sepsis and parasitological infections) and immune disorders (autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus, and allergic diseases, such as asthma and skin hypersensitivity).
