[|Human|] MY MOTHER IS 88 YRS. OLD. SHE S DIABETIC AND NOW HAS RENAL KIDNEY FAILURE. SHE DOES DIALYSIS 3 TIMES A WEEK. SHE HAS BEEN TAKEN OFF INSULIN, WATER PILL AND COLESTERAL. HER LEGS ARE VERY SWOLLEN UP TO THE GROIN AREA AND VERY RED. SHE JUST LEFT THE CLINIC AND THEY CHECKED FOR BLOOD CLOT AND THAT WAS NEGATIVE. THEY SAID IT IS SOMETHING CALLED CELLUTIS INFECTION. WHAT AND HOW COULD SHE HAVE GOTTEN THIS?
[|AI|]  Thanks for posting your query to Chat Doctor. Cellulitis is infection of tissue and skinny bacteria most commonly by Staphylococcus. You need to consult to surgeon and examine locally. If there is pus formation take place, its must be evacuated and if there is only inflammation you can give her antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medication. If pus found you need to send it to culture and sensitivity examination to microbiology lab so that you can know the causative organism and ite remedy .take care.
