    Summary

    This study investigates cellulitis and microangiopathy in 254 female patients, exploring links to diabetes mellitus and glucose intolerance. Findings suggest potential generic or immunological relationships between these conditions.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Dermatology
    • Pathology

    Context:

    • Cellulitis, a lipodystrophy, is characterized by microangiopathy, specifically PAS-positive microangiopathy.
    • Previous histological and histochemical studies highlighted the significance of this microangiopathy in cellulitis.

    Purpose:

    • To complement prior research by investigating the relationship between cellulitis, microangiopathy, and diabetes mellitus in a cohort of 254 female patients.
    • To analyze the influence of family history of diabetes and glucose tolerance test results on patients with cellulitis and confirmed microangiopathy.

    Summary:

    • A cohort of 254 female patients with cellulitis and biopsy-confirmed dermohypodermic capillary microangiopathy was studied.
    • Patients were stratified into four groups based on family history of diabetes mellitus and response to a cortisone-sensitized glucose overload test (Fajans-Conn test).
    • Results were analyzed to explore the etiopathogenesis of both diabetes and microangiopathy, considering potential generic and/or immunological links.

    Impact:

    • Provides insights into the complex interplay between cellulitis, microangiopathy, and metabolic factors like diabetes.
    • Contributes to understanding the potential shared etiopathogenesis of these conditions.
    • Highlights the importance of microangiopathy in the context of cellulitis and its potential association with glucose metabolism disorders.
