Abstract
A prospective microbiological evaluation of 87 patients with acute cellulitis was performed. Adult patients with cellulitis with diabetes mellitus or malignant disorders had a greater frequency of positive cultures. Qualitative leukocyte disorders associated with these underlying disease states was hypothesized as a contributing factor to this higher yield.
