ABSTRACT
In the assessment of patients with soft tissue complaints, it is important to consider infectious etiologies in the differential diagnosis, especially in immunocompromised hosts. The exact categorization of some bacterial infections of the soft tissues may be difficult. The structures potentially involved include the skin, subcutaneous tissue, fascia, and skeletal muscle. Classification is usually based upon the anatomic structure involved, the infecting organism, and the clinical picture. The categorization is complicated by the fact that some infections may involve several soft tissue components and multiple bacterial species. In this review, we will cover cutaneous and subcutaneous tissue infections, fasciitis, septic bursitis, tendonitis, and pyomyositis.
