Chronic Cellulitis, Flare Ups, Recurring Condition. Treatment To Kill Bacteria?
Hello Doctor , My name is XXXXX. My grand father has had cellulitus in his legs for 42 years. I have done a little bit of research and it seems its is relativly easy to treat and get rid of. He has been in and out of the hospital 5 times this year from flare ups ( for lack of a better term). My questions are: Why does this seem to keep happening? Is there a way to kill the bacteria indefinately? What can he do to keep from having bouts with this?

hi i had gone through your query and understand your concerns.i would come up with the possibility of LOW IMMUNITY or DECREASED RESISTANCE POWER may be the cause for your grand father redcurrant cellulitis.
other possible causes include;
-diabetes

-There may be an obvious portal of entry for infection such as a recent abrasion or a venous leg ulcer. The web spaces of the toes should be examined for evidence of fungal infection is best done serologically by streptococcal titres: antistreptolysin O titre (ASOT) and antiDNAse B titre (ADB).
