Dermohypodermites bactériennes : étude monocentrique rétrospective de 244 cas observés en Guinée

Our study shows female predominance of bacterial dermohypodermitis. This is explained by cutaneous atrophy in women resulting from use of depigmenting drugs that facilitate skin breaks, thus allowing ingress of bacteria. NSAID intake, while frequent in our series, was far higher in the fasciitis group, suggesting a potentially aggravating role of these drugs.
