The location, appearance and clinical course of a skin infection can be used to make a reasonable assumption about its etiology. By carefully considering such factors as entry site and immunocompetence, the physician can make a rational decision about hospitalization and treatment. When appropriate, traditional antibiotics should be used initially, thereby avoiding the temptation to "overkill" the infection with newer, more expensive agents.
皮肤感染的部位、外观及临床病程可用于对其病因作出合理推测。通过仔细考虑诸如感染入口部位及免疫能力等因素，医生能够就住院治疗事宜作出合理决策。在适当情况下，应首先使用传统抗生素，从而避免因使用更新、更昂贵的药物来“过度治疗”感染。
