De standaard 'Bacteriële huidinfecties' (eerste herziening) van het Nederlands Huisartsen Genootschap; reactie vanuit de huisartsgeneeskunde

- The revised guideline ‘Bacterial skin infections’ from the Dutch College of General Practitioners offers a clear and extensive overview of the most prevalent superficial and deep bacterial infections in general practice. Given the lack of evidence, it is no longer recommended to keep children with impetigo out of school or daycare centres. Erysipelas and cellulitis are now considered variants of the same bacterial infection and require the same therapy. Due to its rising prevalence, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus should also be considered. In conclusion, the guideline is a practical and evidence-based tool for the diagnosis, education and treatment of bacterial skin infections.
