[Infectious skin disease in the newborn (author's transl)].
The most important infectious skin diseases of the newbornperiod are discussed in a short survey. Those skin alterations which can already be observed immediately after birth are especially emphasized. The search for skin infections has to be a routine measure in the care of the newborn, because even the smallest pyoderms can lead to septic complications, and non-infected newborn must be protected through the quarantining and treatment of those newborns with the infection. Frequent occurrence of pyoderms should be taken as a reason for examining the hygienic measures in the delivery room, nursery and maternity ward.
