[Staphylococcal scalded-skin syndrome in AIDS].
The Authors report a case of SSSS in a patient with AIDS. SSSS in adults is rare. Immunosuppression for several causes could predispose towards SSSS. The principal diagnostic differential to be made is from toxic drug induced epidermal necrolysis. Exfoliative cytology and histology can be useful in the diagnosis.
