Clinical Evidence & Outcomes
The science behind cellulitis treatment in Cuba
Our clinical programs are grounded in peer-reviewed research and coordinated with Cuba's biotechnology institutions. Individual results vary and are confirmed during personalized evaluation.
Targeted Antibiotic Therapy
Bacterial Skin & Soft-Tissue Infections
Cellulitis treatment is guided by clinical assessment and, where appropriate, microbiological cultures to identify the causative pathogen — most commonly Streptococcus pyogenes or Staphylococcus aureus. Antibiotic selection is tailored to the suspected organism, infection severity, and the patient's medical history, with intravenous therapy reserved for moderate to severe cases.

Advanced Wound Care
Complicated Skin Infections
Complex or non-responsive cellulitis cases benefit from advanced wound care including surgical debridement of necrotic tissue, sterile dressing protocols, and modern moisture-balanced wound dressings. This multimodal approach supports infection control and promotes healing of affected skin and soft tissue.

Multidisciplinary Care Model
Comprehensive Infection Management
International patients receive comprehensive coordination including medical record review, treatment scheduling, and post-treatment telemedicine follow-up. The multidisciplinary team addresses both the active infection and underlying risk factors — such as diabetes, lymphedema, or venous insufficiency — to reduce the likelihood of recurrence.

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions from international patients
Cellulitis is a bacterial infection of the deep layer of the skin and underlying soft tissue, most commonly caused by Streptococcus pyogenes or Staphylococcus aureus. It can spread rapidly and, if untreated, may lead to serious complications. Prompt medical evaluation and targeted antibiotic therapy are essential to control the infection and prevent it from spreading to deeper tissues or the bloodstream.
