Condition analysis:
Tests to diagnose this condition include:
Complete blood count (CBC)
Eosinophil count (a type of white blood cell)
Creatine kinase level (an enzyme found in muscle cells)
Muscle biopsy to check for worms in the muscle
Blood antibody test

Instructions:
While most cases of erysipelas resolve without sequelae following appropriate antibiotic therapy, prompt treatment is crucial because of potentially rapid progression. Aside from administration of antibiotics, patient care includes the following:

Symptomatic treatment of aches and fever
Hydration (oral intake if possible)
Cold compresses
Elevation and rest of the affected limb: Recommended to reduce local swelling, inflammation, and pain
Saline wet dressings: Should be applied to ulcerated and necrotic lesions and changed every 2-12 hours, depending on the severity of the infection
