[edit] statistical signficance
I think the link to statistical significance should remain as such an not be split into two links to statistical and significance. Check out statistical significance and I think you will see it is more on target. OK if I revert that one change? Badgettrg 12:51, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] incorrect redirect
"pustules" should not redirect to "abscess". Pustules should if anything redirect to "rash". They are pus-filled vesicles on the skin surface. Wwallacee 20:50, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
- I agree. Abscess is generally larger and deeper. Pusutles are confined to the epidermis-dermis layers only. MoiAussie (talk) 21:35, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] typing error?
The introduction says that an abscess wall that is formed in an attempt to limit the immune cells from attacking the bacteria.
This seems like an error - shouldn't it be "attacking the healthy cells" instead of the bacteria? Why should the body try to limit the attacking of the bacteria?

the picture also displays a hemorrhagic vesicle with surrounding cellulitis vs. inflammation rather than an abscess Rruggero 06:00, 9 September 2007 (UTC) in addition, by definition, an abscess does not have a "wall", unlike a cyst. Rruggero 06:01, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Primary closure
What does this mean? Non obvious to non-medics? A link or an explanation would help —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.44.102.149 (talk) 14:01, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
