Cellulitis and cutaneous abscess are the second most common infections leading to hospitalization in the United States, causing nearly 600 000 admissions annually.1 This represents a 65% relative increase since 1999.1- 2 Although the management of these infections in the ambulatory care setting has garnered much attention recently, evaluation and treatment strategies for severe cases warranting hospitalization have not been well studied. Given their substantial impact, it is imperative that evidence-based strategies be developed to optimize outcomes, antibiotic use, and use of health care resources.
