dc.description.abstractThere is a high burden of skin and soft tissue infections (SSTI) - including cellulitis - among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples living in remote communities. In tropical environments, such as the Torres Strait, cellulitis accounts for 37% of potentially preventable hospitalisations. This study aimed to evaluate the safety, effectiveness and community acceptance of outpatient antibiotic treatment for the management of skin infections in the Torres Strait.en
