Abstract

This case reports a 14-month-old child with Staphylococcal Scalded Skin Syndrome (SSSS). The child presented generalized scaling erythema accompanied by skin pain, and perioral crusts and fissures and she required hospital admission for antibiotic treatment with intravenous cloxacillin and hidroelectrolyte replacement.SSSS is a blistering skin disorder, mainly affecting children, caused by specific Staphylococcus aureus strains producing exfoliative toxins. It shows erythema in skin folds progressing to blisters within 48 h, often with perioral crusts and fissures. Its diagnosis relies on clinical assessment and it often requires intravenous antibiotics for its treatment.

期刊介绍： Infection is a journal dedicated to serving as a global forum for the presentation and discussion of clinically relevant information on infectious diseases. Its primary goal is to engage readers and contributors from various regions around the world in the exchange of knowledge about the etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of infectious diseases, both in outpatient and inpatient settings. The journal covers a wide range of topics, including: Etiology: The study of the causes of infectious diseases. Pathogenesis: The process by which an infectious agent causes disease. Diagnosis: The methods and techniques used to identify infectious diseases. Treatment: The medical interventions and strategies employed to treat infectious diseases. Public Health: Issues of local, regional, or international significance related to infectious diseases, including prevention, control, and management strategies. Hospital Epidemiology: The study of the spread of infectious diseases within healthcare settings and the measures to prevent nosocomial infections. In addition to these, Infection also includes a specialized "Images" section, which focuses on high-quality visual content, such as images, photographs, and microscopic slides, accompanied by brief abstracts. This section is designed to highlight the clinical and diagnostic value of visual aids in the field of infectious diseases, as many conditions present with characteristic clinical signs that can be diagnosed through inspection, and imaging and microscopy are crucial for accurate diagnosis. The journal's comprehensive approach ensures that it remains a valuable resource for healthcare professionals and researchers in the field of infectious diseases.
