Terentyeva Sofya Alekseyevna

The article covers the issues of epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of erythematous skin infection in patients with breast cancer. A summary of clinical research data has shown that in patients with breast cancer, erysipelas foci are predominantly localized in the upper limb on the side of the tumor lesion, erythematous and erythematous-hemorrhagic forms and a recurrent course of the disease predominate. The need for the introduction of modern therapeutic and diagnostic measures to prevent infectious complications, immunotherapy, and monitoring its effectiveness when treating patients with this nosology is substantiated.
