Lint: cellulitis

Emphasis
warning

"Cellulitis occurs after disruption of the skin and invasion of the subcutaneous tissues by microorganisms that may be skin flora, such as beta-haemolytic streptococci (most often), Staphylococcus aureus (including methycillin-resistant), or other bacteria 9. Patients with peripheral vascular disease or diabetes mellitus are particularly susceptible to cellulitis of the lower limbs; the compounding effect of minor (often unnoticed) injuries and poor vascular supply leads to skin breakdown that can be a point of entry for microorganisms."

Line 21:188 · Italics should be used only in exceptional circumstances: '<em>Staphylococcus aureus</em>'
