Overview

Cellulitis can be classified according to the Dundee classification.

Classification

In 2011, Marwick et al modified the previously used Eron classification to stratify patients according to severity[1]. The criteria for severity were based on systemic signs of sepsis along with taking into account their Standardized Early Warning Score (SEWS) and patient comorbidities. The SEWS is a form of an early warning system, where the physician calculates a score using the patient's clinical observations, with the score of 4 indicating the most severe presentation[2]. The SEWS was found to be lacking and patients were either undertreated or overtreated[3]. New tools are being developed to accurately stratify patients according to risk[4].
