[Bacterial infections of the skin. Impetigo: etiology and clinical aspects].
One hundred children with a clinical diagnosis of Impetigo are presented. Seventy of them were bacteriologically studied. The sign-symptomatology is that usually described in this type of affection. Streptococcus was the principal bacterium involved and predominated in the youngest patients. Males were more frequently affected. There were no complications which could be attributed to this pathology either by local extension or by immunological involvement.
