description | Bilateral lower limbs cellulitis is a rare clinical condition, which has been overlooked for a long time. In daily clinical practice, bilateral cellulitis is a sporadically encountered condition; however, it remains a clinical challenge. There is a broad differential diagnosis for this clinical entity, and there is a lack of accepted international diagnostic criteria. Unnecessary antibiotic prescription is common, which has led to an emerging problem. In this review, we summarize case reports of bilateral lower limbs cellulitis and common pathogens that have been documented. |
