Abstract

Skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) are extremely common, and while the vast majority are mild, they can occasionally lead to serious local and systemic complications. Therefore, early recognition and appropriate medical and surgical management are of primary importance. In 2009, the Argentine Society of Infectious Diseases (SADI), along with other scientific societies, published its latest recommendations. This Guide was developed by specialists from the Argentine Society of Infectious Diseases (SADI) and discussed in a plenary meeting with the participation of representatives from six other Scientific Societies: Argentine Society of Dermatology, Argentine Association of Surgery, Argentine Society of Medicine, Argentine Association of Clinical Microbiology, Buenos Aires Society of Internal Medicine, and Argentine Society of Intensive Care, based on their experience in this subject. Each chapter contains recommendations based on scientific evidence and expert opinion, including useful diagnostic tools, with special emphasis on clinical assessment and differential diagnoses, and antimicrobial therapy, with attention to the responsible use of antibiotics.
