AB  - Infections  of  the  skin  and  skin  structures  are  some  of  the  most  common  infectious  diagnoses  and  result  in  hundreds  of  thousands  of  medical  office  and  emergency  room  visits  each  year.  These  infections  often  occur  following  a  break  in  normal  skin  integrity  from  either  trauma  or  skin  disease  (e.g.,  atopic  dermatitis).  The  vast  majority  of  these  infections  are  caused  by  Staphylococcus  aureus  and  Streptococcus  pyogenes  (Table  77–1).  Rarely,  infections  in  patients  with  burns,  diabetes  mellitus,  or  decubitus  ulcers  may  involve  gram-negative  rods  such  as  Pseudomonas  or  anaerobes.  Hematogenous  seeding  of  organisms  into  the  skin  can  occur  but  is  uncommon.  Normal  histology  of  the  skin  can  be  seen  in  Figure  77–1.
