Regional variations of these risk factors have never be assessed. <i>Objective:<\/i> To assess risk factors for erysipelas of the leg in Tunisia. <i>Subjects and Methods:<\/i> Case-control study in seven hospital centers in Tunisia. Cases were 114 consecutive patients with erysipelas of the leg [sudden onset (<24 h) of a well-demarcated dermo-hypodermatitis with fever or chills]. Two controls were matched to each case for age, sex, and hospital (n = 208). Main outcome measures are local and general suspected risk factors for erysipelas of the leg. <i>Results:<\/i> In multivariate analysis, disruption of the cutaneous barrier (i.e. traumatic wound, toe-web intertrigo, excoriated leg dermatosis or plantar squamous lesions) and leg edema were independently associated with erysipelas of the leg, with respective odds ratios of 13.6 (95% confidence interval: 6.0\u201331) and 7.0 (1.3\u201338). No association was observed with diabetes, alcoholism, or smoking. <i>Conclusions:<\/i> We confirmed the major role of local risk factors and the minor role of general risk factors for erysipelas of the leg, in a setting different than the one previously studied. Detecting and treating toe-web intertrigo and traumatic wounds should be considered in the prevention of erysipelas of the leg.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000090649","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,2,21]],"date-time":"2006-02-21T07:42:29Z","timestamp":1140507749000},"page":"108-112","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":61,"title":["Risk Factors for Erysipelas of the Leg in Tunisia: A Multicenter Case-Control Study"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"212","author":[{"given":"Mourad","family":"Mokni","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alain","family":"Dupuy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mohamed","family":"Denguezli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Raouf","family":"Dhaoui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Samir","family":"Bouassida","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Montacer","family":"Amri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sami","family":"Fenniche","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Faten","family":"Zeglaoui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nejib","family":"Doss","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rafiaa","family":"Nouira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Amel Ben","family":"Osman-Dhahri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jamel","family":"Zili","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Insaf","family":"Mokhtar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mohamed Ridha","family":"Kamoun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Abdelmajid","family":"Zahaf","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Olivier","family":"Chosidow","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,3,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056%2FNEJM199601253340407"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136%2Fbmj.325.7369.864"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111%2Fj.1365-4362.1996.tb02971.x"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109%2F00365548609021656"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001%2Farchderm.127.4.493"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2F0002-9343%2887%2990061-1"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159%2F000080853"}],"container-title":["Dermatology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/90649","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/90649","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,24]],"date-time":"2025-04-24T02:46:32Z","timestamp":1745462792000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000090649"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2006]]},"references-count":7,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,2,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000090649","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1018-8665","1421-9832"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1018-8665","type":"print"},{"value":"1421-9832","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2006]]}}}
