Abstract
Background: This high volume, single centre study investigated the clinical profile of acute limb cellulitis patients in terms of prevalence, etiological factors, bacterial epidemiology, responsiveness to antibiotic therapy and outcome of different treatment modalities. Materials and Methods: This is a prospective observational study in our tertiary care hospital. Total 100 cases of limb cellulitis were evaluated from 2020 to 2023. Data about the selected cases collected to provide demographics, cellulitis grading, symptoms, complications, cultures
