It is important to note that the torso is divided by 9%. Each upper extremity can further be divided into anterior (4.5%) and posterior (4.5%). The lower extremities are estimated at 36%, 18% for each lower extremity. Again this can be further divided into 9% for the anterior and 9% for the posterior aspect. See outline below: The front and back of the head and neck equal 9% of the body's surface area. The front and back of each arm and hand equal 9% of the body's surface area. The chest equals 9% and the stomach equals 9% of the body's surface area. The upper back equals 9% and the lower back equals 9% of the body's surface area. The front and back of each leg and foot equal 18% of the body's surface area. The groin area equals 1% of the body's surface area.

IMPORTANT to recognize difference in treatment of CAT SCRATCH (Bartonella Henselae) versus CAT BITES (Pasteurella multocida). For Bartonella or Cat Scratch treat with Azithromycin. For patients with more severe disease, other antibiotic regimens have been successful, including azithromycin or doxycycline in combination with rifampin or rifampin alone. Treatment of CSD depends on the disease presentation. Most patients, especially children, have self-limited lymphadenopathy lasting two to eight weeks and do not require antibiotics. Up to 14 percent of persons develop dissemination to the liver, spleen, eye, or central nervous system requiring IV treatment. For Cat Bite (Pasteurella) treat with Augmentin or Doxy with PCN allergy
