Other rapid assays are being developed for diagnosis of melioidosis, but none are available commercially. TREATMENT: Meropenem is the agent most active against the majority of B cepa- cia complex isolates, although other drugs that may be effective include imipenem, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, ceftazidime, doxycycline, and chloramphenicol. Some experts recommend combinations of antimicrobial agents that provide synergistic activity against B cepacia complex. The majority of B cepacia complex isolates are resistant intrinsically to aminoglycosides and polymyxin B. The drugs of choice for initial treatment of melioidosis include ceftazidime or meropenem or imipenem for a minimum of 10 to 14 days. After acute therapy is completed, eradication therapy with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole or doxycy- cline for 12 to 24 weeks is recommended to reduce recurrence. Further studies to deter- mine the optimal duration and regimen are ongoing. ISOLATION OF THE HOSPITALIZED PATIENT: Contact and droplet precautions are recommended for patients infected with multidrug-resistant strains of B cepacia complex. Standard precautions are recommended for people with B pseudomallei infection. CONTROL MEASURES: Because some strains of B cepacia complex are highly trans- missible and virulence is not well understood, many centers limit contact between B cepacia complex-infected­and­-uninfected­patients­with­cystic­fibrosis.­This­includes­ inpatient,­outpatient,­and­social­settings.­For­example,­patients­with­cystic­fibrosis­who­ are infected with B cepacia complex are cared for in single rooms and have unique clinic hours.

    Approach to the Patient With Presumed Cellulitis Daniela Kroshinsky, MD,* Marc E. Grossman, MD, FACP,† and Lindy P. Fox, MD‡ Dermatologists frequently are consulted in the evaluation and management of the patient with cellulitic-appearing skin. For routine cellulitis, the clinical presentation and patient symptoms are usually sufficient for an accurate diagnosis. However, when the clinical presentation is somewhat atypical, or if the patient fails to respond to appropriate therapy for cellulitis because of routine bacterial pathogens, the differential diagnosis should be rapidly expanded. We discuss the approach to the patient with presumed cellulitis, with an emphasis on the differential diagnosis of cellulitis in both the immunocompetent and immunucompromised patient.
