Abstract：Objective To investigate the risk factors of relapse of erysipelas.Methods The clinical data of 171 patients with erysipelas were analyzed for the characteristics of relapse of erysipelas.Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to identify the risk factors for relapse of erysipelas.Results The relapse rate of erysipelas was 29.8％(51 cases).The anatomical area of relapse of erysipelas was mainly the lower limbs(42 cases,82.4％).The relapse rate of erysipelas was relatively high in summer(20 cases,39.2％).Erysipelas of lower limbs(OR=3.22,P＜0.05),chronic lymphedema(OR=4.12,P＜0.01),diabetes(OR=2.60,P＜0.05),varicose veins(OR=5.63,P＜0.01),body mass index＞30 kg/m2 were independent risk factors for erysipelas relapse.Conclusion The erysipelas patients with erysipelas in lower limbs,chronic lymphedema,diabetes,varicose veins,and body mass index＞30 kg/m2 were more likely to relapse.
