title: Staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome in a neonate.
abstract: A case of staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome in a neonate caused by mother-to-child transmission through breast-feeding is reported. Staphylococcus aureus isolates from mother and child were identified using random-amplified polymorphic DNA analysis, which is a simple and rapid method for comparing strains. This study confirms the need to avoid breast-feeding in cases of breast abscess.
