Staphylococcal scalded-skin syndrome.
Staphylococcal scalded-skin syndrome, an exfoliative dermopathy, affects neonatal and infant children. A classification of this disorder, as well as etiology and therapeutic modalities, is discussed. Topical medications such as used for treating partial-thickness burns cannot always be used in the newborn because of potential toxicity. Supportive therapy, specific antibiotics, and relatively inert dressings are recommended.
