Dermatological Infection Top Journals

Bacterial skin infections are fairly common and can range in severity from mild (albeit annoying) to life-threatening. Most bacterial infections are caused by Staphylococcus aureus (staph) or Streptococcus pyogenes (the same bacteria responsible for strep throat). A bacterial infection can take many different forms depending on its location, type, even the age of the affected individual. Most can be treated by your internist or family physician. More complex ones may require a consultation with a dermatologist or even a rheumatologist. In the most serious cases, a bacterial infection can spread to the bloodstream and cause sepsis, which may be life-threatening.
