dc.description.abstract | Dear Editor,
Cellulitis is a common ED diagnosis and antibiotics are part of routine management. Each year, almost 60 000 people are hospitalised for treatment of cellulitis in Australia, of which an estimated 11% were deemed preventable.1
Appropriate antibiotic selection involves the right antibiotic type, dosage and route of administration. Multiple randomised controlled trials and a Cochrane review2 suggest oral antibiotics are non‐inferior to i.v. administration for most patients. We have previously highlighted the need to review unnecessary i.v. antibiotics use in more detail.3 | |
