Despite its clinical importance, data on demographic and epidemiological risk factors, as well as factors influencing hospitalization, remain limited. This study aimed to analyze the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of patients hospitalized with primary and recurrent erysipelas, focusing on risk factors contributing to disease onset, recurrence, and prolonged hospitalization. Methods: A retrospective single-center analysis was conducted on 239 patients hospitalized for erysipelas at the Department of Dermatology, Pediatric Dermatology, and Oncology at the Medical University of Lodz. Data collected included demographics, lesion location, laboratory markers, comorbidities, and hospitalization outcomes. Statistical analyses were performed to assess associations between risk factors, disease recurrence, and hospitalization duration. Results: The majority of erysipelas cases (85.4%) involved the lower limbs, with a higher prevalence in men. Upper extremities were mostly affected in women, especially those who had undergone breast cancer surgery. Recurrent erysipelas accounted for 75.7% of cases. Most patients (89.1%) had at least one comorbidity, with hypertension, diabetes type 2 (DM2), and obesity being the most common. Higher white blood cell (WBC) count, obesity, atrial fibrillation (AF), and the need for enoxaparin administration were independently associated with prolonged hospitalization. Dyslipidemia was significantly associated with erysipelas recurrence (p &lt; 0.05). Conclusions: Both primary and recurrent erysipelas are associated with specific risk factors. Recurrent erysipelas may be linked to components of metabolic syndrome, particularly obesity and dyslipidemia, which emerged as a significant risk factor in this study. Hospitalization length may be prolonged by inflammation markers (WBC and CRP) and comorbidities such as AF, obesity, or the need for enoxaparin in patients with elevated thrombosis risk. Further multicenter studies with larger cohorts are needed to assess the impact of demographics, biomarkers, metabolic disorders, and treatment strategies on erysipelas recurrence and outcomes. Awareness of these risk factors is essential for effective prevention, management, and recurrence reduction.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm14155299","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,28]],"date-time":"2025-07-28T09:53:02Z","timestamp":1753696382000},"page":"5299","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Primary and Recurrent Erysipelas\u2014Epidemiological Patterns in a Single-Centre Retrospective Analysis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Marta","family":"Matych","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, Pediatric Dermatology and Dermatological Oncology, Medical University of Lodz, 90-419 Lodz, Poland"},{"name":"Laboratory of Autoinflammatory\u2014Genetic and Rare Skin Disorders at Department of Dermatology, Pediatric Dermatology and Dermatological Oncology, Medical University of Lodz, 90-419 Lodz, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-4416-5893","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Agata","family":"Ciosek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Student Scientific Research Club of Experimental, Clinical and Procedural Dermatology, Medical University of Lodz, 90-419 Lodz, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Karol","family":"Miler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Pomeranian Medical University, 70-111 Szczecin, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marcin","family":"Noweta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, Pediatric Dermatology and Dermatological Oncology, Medical University of Lodz, 90-419 Lodz, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Karolina","family":"Brzezi\u0144ska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Student Scientific Research Club of Experimental, Clinical and Procedural Dermatology, Medical University of Lodz, 90-419 Lodz, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ma\u0142gorzata","family":"Sarza\u0142a","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Student Scientific Research Club of Experimental, Clinical and Procedural Dermatology, Medical University of Lodz, 90-419 Lodz, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joanna","family":"Narbutt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, Pediatric Dermatology and Dermatological Oncology, Medical University of Lodz, 90-419 Lodz, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aleksandra","family":"Lesiak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, Pediatric Dermatology and Dermatological Oncology, Medical University of Lodz, 90-419 Lodz, Poland"},{"name":"Laboratory of Autoinflammatory\u2014Genetic and Rare Skin Disorders at Department of Dermatology, Pediatric Dermatology and Dermatological Oncology, Medical University of Lodz, 90-419 Lodz, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1901","DOI":"10.1007\/s10096-019-03625-9","article-title":"Colonization of \u03b2-Hemolytic Streptococci in Patients with Erysipelas\u2014A Prospective Study","volume":"38","author":"Trell","year":"2019","journal-title":"Eur.
