Erysipel ist eine akute flächige, mit hohem Fieber einhergehende Hautinfektion, die überwiegend durch Streptokokken ausgelöst wird. Die Bakterien dringen über kleine Hautverletzungen in das Lymphsystem ein and breiten sich dort weiter aus. Unbehan-delt ist die Erkrankung lebensgefährlich und muss intravenös mit Antibiotika behandelt werden.

spreading
"Flächig" means that the rash/the infection involves a continuous area of the skin (rather than spots as, e.g., in impetigo). IMO, this is mostly described as "spreading skin infection".

Thank you, MM! There certainly is a *spread* of infection within or between individuals, but if this was the only meaning of "spreading", impetigo rather than cellulitis should be called a "spreading skin infection"!

patchy
Patchy= fleckig/flächig, wenn die Hautinfektion eher großflächig ist, würde ich mich allerdings eher für "extensive" entscheiden, wie von Lydia schon vorgeschlagen
Something went wrong...
