Background: New skin and soft tissue infections (SSTI) guidelines were published in 2019 in France, changing the recommended duration for antibiotic treatment. The objective of the present study was to assess the impact of the publication of the 2019 French guidelines on SSTIs on the duration of antibiotic prescription for erysipelas.
Methods: In a before-after study (a year before and a year after April 1st, 2019), we included all adult patients diagnosed with erysipelas in Reims University Hospital medical wards and the emergency department.
Article Synopsis
- French Guiana is a unique region notable for its rich biodiversity and diverse communities, yet it faces paradoxes such as high poverty rates with 50% of the population living below the poverty line.
- The territory experiences a mix of health challenges, including common infectious diseases like HIV and malaria, which require tailored medical approaches due to their unique local characteristics.
- European resources in French Guiana facilitate advanced diagnostic and treatment options, enhancing research opportunities despite the smaller population compared to surrounding countries, and enabling better management of both common and rare diseases.
