Objective To study the etiological structure of the disease in patients with various forms of erysipelas of the lower extremities by using bacteriological method. Materials and methods A total of 50 in-patients with erysipelas of the lower limbs, mainly with bullous hemorrhagic form, were examined. Using bacteriological method we examined blood, smears from the skin in the area of the hearth and bulls punctate. The study demonstrated the preferential identification of staphylococcus, mainly - in smears from the skin, while the informativeness of blood culture and bulls punctate was low. Conclusion The positive results of bacteriological research can serve as an objective criterion of therapy correction based on identified microbes.
