Overview[edit | edit source]
Impetigo can be classified in various ways. It can be classified as bullous, non-bullous and ecthyma. It can also be classified as primary or secondary to a disease or process e.g burns, surgery, pregnancy, diabetes and trauma. Another classification pattern is with respect to the involved pathogen as Staphylococcal or Streptococcal impetigo. Non-bullous impetigo also known as "impetigo contagiosa" is caused by both Staphylococci and Streptococci and is estimated to make almost 70% of its cases.[1]
Classification[edit | edit source]
Impetigo can be classfied according to different basis as follows:[2][3][4]
On the Basis of Mode of Infection
- Primary impetigo
- Secondary impetigo
On the Basis of the Type of Lesion
- Bullous impetigo
- Non-bullous impetigo
- Ecthyma
On the Basis of Causative Organism
- Staphylococcal impetigo
- Streptococcal impetigo
