Common Pyodermas Bethany KH Lewis, MD MPH Clinical Assistant Professor University of Utah Department of Dermatology
I HAVE NO CONFLICTS OF INTEREST TO DECLARE
Today’s agenda • Skin microbiome review • Clinical presentations of pyodermas – Impetigo – Folliculitis – Cellulitis • Treatment guidelines
Pyoderma • “Pyo” – pus • “Derma” – skin • Pyoderma – skin infection forming pus, or bacterial skin infection • Primary causative agents: Staph aureus and Strep pyogenes
Skin microbiome 1,2 • One billion organisms per cm 2 of skin • Colonization starts at birth, diversifies w/ age • Bacterial species vary by site – Sebaceous/follicle – Propionibacterium, Staphylococcus – Body folds – Corynebacterium > Staphylococcus • Inflammatory diseases have been a/w altered microbiomes – Atopic dermatitis, rosacea, acne
Homeostasis disruption pyodermas 2 1. Balance between skin and microorganisms Environmental trauma – i.e. shaving, wounds, other • Underlying skin barrier issues – i.e. atopic dermatitis • Predisposing conditions – i.e. immunosuppression, diabetes • 2. Disturbance of microorganism milieu Staph aureus overgrowth – i.e. homogenization 2/2 exposure • Decrease in diversity –
Superficial pyodermas are common 4 • Impetigo 0.3% • Cellulitis 2.2%

FOLLICULITIS
Not all folliculitis is bacterial folliculitis 5 Majocchi’s granuloma DDX includes : • “Hot tub” – Pseudomonas • Herpes simplex • T. rubrum , Candida , Pityrosporum • Drugs or occupational Eosinophilic folliculitis – Topical or PO steroids, lithium – Chloracne • Nutritional deficiency • Eosinophilic
Bacterial folliculitis 5,7 Diagnosis Treatment • Bacterial swab for Gram • Anti- Staph medications: stain and culture – Topical antibiotics • Clinda/erythromycin lotion • KOH to evaluate for yeast or or solution fungus • Mupirocin ointment • HSV PCR or DFA – Antimicrobial washes • Benzoyl peroxide 10% wash – If extensive involvement, 5-10 day course PO ABX
When the hair follicle is more extensively involved 7 Furuncle/Carbuncle/Abscess • Diagnosis: – Try to differentiate from inflamed epidermoid cyst • Treatment: – Incision & drainage – Culture & sensitivity – Empiric TMP/SMX or doxycycline – Defined MSSA: dicloxacillin or cephalexin – Defined MRSA: TMPSMX
Compare & Contrast Inflamed EIC Furuncle/Abscess
Decontamination procedures • Intranasal mupirocin BID x 5 days • Daily chlorhexidine washes vs. dilute bleach baths • Daily decontamination of personal items

IMPETIGO
Impetigo • Superficial epidermal infection, predominantly Staphylococcus
Impetigo • Thin-walled vesicles/pustules, easily rupture & crust with a “honey” color • Exposed areas: face, hands, neck, extremities
Impetigo 7 • Diagnosis: • Treatment: – Consider a wound – Topical antibacterial culture to differentiate • Mupirocin Staph vs. Strep – +/- systemic antibiotic if: – Typically this is MSSA • extensive involvement • outbreak situation • glomerulonephritis- causing S. pyogenes strain • 7 d. PO cephalexin or dicloxacillin

CELLULITIS
Cellulitis • Bacterial infection of dermis & subcutaneous tissue • Often occurs near areas of skin breakdown – Risk factors: • Venous stasis/edema • Toe web infections • Eczema • Legs > digits > other exposed sites
Cellulitis • Routine blood or wound cultures not routinely recommended • 5 days anti- Strep antibiotic for routine cases
Treatment guidelines for cellulitis 7 • Mild: without focus of purulence – PO peni/dicloxacillin, cephalosporin, clindamycin • Moderate: with systemic signs of infection – IV penicillin, ceftriaxone, cefazolin, clindamycin • Severe: failed orals, immunocomp, sepsis – Empiric vancomycin + piperacillin/tazobactam – Emergent C&S and possible debridement
