Skin and soft tissue infections are commonly seen and treated in the emergency department. While most practitioners are comfortable with the typical infections it is important to consider unusual exposures and environmental factors that may result in atypical skin and soft tissue infections. This podcast will discuss some of these infections that may be seen due to exposures to water (salt & fresh) and soils and how to identify and manage these situations.
