	Erysipelas - Wikipedia
		Erysipelas (synoniem: wondroos of belroos) is een acute ontsteking van de diepe lagen van de huid (dermis) en het onderhuidse weefsel (subcutis).
		Mensen met een gestoorde veneuze afvoer en/of lymfoedeem, of mensen die al een keer erysipelas hebben gehad, hebben een grotere kans op het krijgen van huiddefecten en dus op het (opnieuw) krijgen van erysipelas.
		Mogelijke complicaties van erysipelas zijn: onderhuidse abcessen, 'necrotiserende fasciitis', nierontsteking ('nephritis') en 'sepsis'.

		Erysipelas is an infectious disease caused by Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae seen mainly in growing pigs and characterized clinically by sudden death, fever, arthritis, and skin lesions.

		Treatment of Erysipeloid and Erysipelas Disease is very often successful if started early in the course of the disease and the antibiotic of first choice for treatment of erysipelas in animals and people is penicillin since the organism is also generally susceptible to cephalosporins and clindamycin, which may be used for treatment in people.
