Common risk factors in the development of erysipelas include [[immunodeficiency]], [[diabetes]], [[alcoholism]], skin [[ulceration]], [[fungal infections]] and impaired [[lymph node|lymph]]atic drainage.


==Risk Factors==
==Risk Factors==
This disease is most common among the elderly, infants, and children. People with [[immune deficiency]], [[diabetes]], [[alcoholism]], skin [[ulceration]], [[fungal infections]] and impaired [[lymph node|lymph]]atic drainage (e.g., after [[mastectomy]], pelvic surgery, [[Bypass (surgical)|bypass]] grafting) are also at increased risk.
