Erysipelas is a common skin infection involving the lymphatic vessels, which induces an oedema. This has a tendency of persisting after infection is treated. The lymphatic system plays an important role in the immune system, and the impaired lymph drainage leads to a state of local immune deficiency. This is essential to the pathogenesis of recurrent erysipelas, as each episode of erysipelas further damages the lymphatic system and increases the risk of a new infection. This vicious circle makes it important to treat both erysipelas and oedema appropriately to reduce recurrence and morbidity.
丹毒是一种累及淋巴管的常见皮肤感染，可引发水肿。在感染得到治疗后，这种水肿仍有持续的倾向。淋巴系统在免疫系统中发挥着重要作用，而淋巴引流受损会导致局部免疫缺陷状态。这对于复发性丹毒的发病机制至关重要，因为丹毒的每一次发作都会进一步损害淋巴系统，并增加新感染的风险。这种恶性循环使得恰当治疗丹毒和水肿以降低复发率和发病率变得很重要。
