Clinical case of erysipelas in a child

In clinical practice, inflammatory changes in the skin, mucous membranes and lymph nodes are characteristic of many infectious diseases. Erysipelas occupies a significant place in the structure of infectious pathologies in the adult population. At the same time, in children this disease is registered extremely rarely. The present study presents a rare case of erysipelas localised to the face and ear (Milian's ear sign) in a 10-year-old child with no comorbid somatic pathology.Given the rarity of erysipelas in the paediatric population and the lack of clear normative documents regarding the management of patients with this disease in paediatric practice, the clinical case presented may contribute to increased physician vigilance regarding this diagnosis.
