Abstract

Eighteen hot topics regarding the diagnosis and management of skin and soft-tissue infections (SSTIs) were selected and reviewed by members of the SSTI Working Group of the International Society of Chemotherapy (ISC). Despite the large amount of literature available on the issue selected, there are still many unknowns with regard to many of them and further studies are required to answer these challenging issues that face clinicians on a daily basis.
