[Four hours for a record, or a severe fuminating cellulitis: can Saccharomyces cerevisiae be the causal agent?]

A 31-year-old woman presented with a subcutaneous cellulitis which occurred within four hours following a minor wound of a knee. This very short delay could be explained neither by the health state, nor the mechanism of injury, nor the bacteria usually responsible for such a cellulitis. Considering the clinical characteristics (high gas production) and the professional context (wine cellar employee), Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a yeast used for wine or bread production, may explain this complication.
