[Atypical manifestation of bullous, multifocal erysipelas on the trunk-case report]

Erysipelas is an acute bacterial infection of the skin and lymphatic vessels, predominantly caused by Streptococcus pyogenes. Atypical localizations such as the trunk, as well as rare clinical variants including bullous or multifocal erysipelas, may complicate the diagnostic process and require differentiation from other blistering or widespread erythematous conditions, such as staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome (SSSS), toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) or cellulitis. In immunocompromised or oncologically pretreated patients, erysipelas should be considered even in unusual presentations.
