Jason PY - 2021 T2 - The Atlas of Emergency Medicine, 5e AB - Nasal cellulitis is an acute infection of the skin and subcutaneous tissues but does not involve the nasal cartilage. It is most common at the extremes of age. Bacterial invasion by S pyogenes and S aureus due to disruption of the skin is the usual cause. Risk factors include nasal surgery, instrumentation, diabetes, immunodeficiency, and nasal piercing. Clinical features include pain, redness, and swelling of the nasal tissues. Headache, fever, and malaise suggest complicated disease. Complications of nasal cellulitis include abscess, cavernous sinus thrombosis, chondritis of the nasal cartilage, bacteremia, and sepsis.
