Some patients are carriers of the organism and do not develop an active infection. These individuals may shed the organism and cause environmental contamination. Generally, mild C. diff infection (in addition to diarrhea) may result in: abdominal pain and cramping,
vasovesiculitis (vay-zoh-ve-sik-yoo-ly-tis) n. inflammation of the seminal vesicles and vas deferens. This usually occurs in association with prostatitis and causes pain in the perineum, groin, and scrotum and a high temperature.
Cellulitis is a bacterial infection of the skin and tissues beneath the skin. Unlike impetigo, which is a very superficial skin infection, cellulitis is a bacterial skin infection that also involves the skin's deeper layers: the dermis and subcutaneous tissue. The main bacteria responsible for cellulitis are Streptococcus and Staphylococcus (staph), the same bacteria that can cause impetigo and other diseases.
