                                    The study of the stellar content and physics of the ionized gas in local
high-mass star-forming regions is specially important for better
understanding extragalactic starbursts. Recent observations from space
telescopes and near-infrared detectors have provided a wealth of new
information about the gas and stars in these objects. In this paper, I
review some relevant observational results related to: a) the stellar
content in high and low-mass stars of the ionizing clusters; b) the
interplay between the gas and stars; c) the role of ionization fronts;
d) the chemical composition of the ionized gas.
