Abstract:
Bacteriological study, including antibiotic sensitivity tests, of 81 patients with pyodermas such as impetigo, folliculitis, furuncle, carbuncle, cellulitis and acuete infectious eczematoid dermatitis, was carried out during 4 months period from June, 1980 to September, 1980 at the department of dermatology, Han Il Hospital. The results were as follows: 1) The causative agents of impetigo in 42 patients, were coagulase positive Staphylacoccus aureus in 33, p-hemolytic Streptococcus in 6 and both organisms in R (S. aureus and 3-hemolytic Streptococcus). Coagulase negative Stgaphylococcus was not found. 2) The causative agents of superficial and deep follicultis in 23 cases, were coagulase positive S. aureus in 12, coaulase negative Staphylococcus in 5, p-hemolytic Streptococcus in 4 and S. aureus and p-hemolytic Streptococcus in 3. 3) The causative agents of cellulitis in 2 cases, were coagulase positive S. aureus in 1, and coagulase negative Staphylococcus in 1. 4) The causative agents of acute infectious eczematoid dermatitis in l4 cases, were coagulase positive S. aureus in 6, coagulase negative Staphylococcua in 1, p-hemolytic Streptococcus in 2, and two organisms in 5 (4 cases were mixed).
