Yes and no. If cellulitus responds well to oral antibiotics then it is not serious. However if it does not respond then a course of IV antibiotics are required, which usually means a further hospital infection. If the cellulitus does not respond to IV antibiotics then this could cause septicemia and prove fatal particularly in those who have compromised immune systems
