Abstract

Abstract:

Patients with liver cirrhosis are in high risk of skin and soft tissue infections for the compromised immune and edema of lower extremity. Lower extremity is the most common position for skin and soft tissue infection for patients with liver cirrhosis. Cellulitis is the most common type of skin and soft tissue infections for these patients. Gram-negative bacillus are the major pathogens for cirrhosis patients with skin and soft tissue infections, which are different from general population. Serum creatinine level and MELD score are prognosis predictors for these patients. Further studies should be carried out to identify the pathogen, clinical characteristics of skin and soft tissue infections in Chinese patients with liver cirrhosis, in order to provide certain basis for optimizing the management of these patients.

Key words: Skin and soft tissue infections, Liver cirrhosis, Cellulitis
