Staphylococcal scaled skin syndrome in an adult: possible influence of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
A 89-year-old woman presented with typical staphylococcal scaled skin syndrome (SSSS). An abscess of the left buttock related to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) injections was evacuated. We discuss the influence of NSAID administration on SSSS risk factors, i.e. renal insufficiency and immunosuppression.
