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.
