title: [Clinical case of the month. Acute staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome in a fifty-year-old].
abstract: Staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome is a bullous disease induced by bacterial exfoliative exotoxins. Children are most often affected. The prognosis is worse in adults and calls for treatment in an intensive care unit. We report a case in a quinquagenerian woman who suffered from angina a few days before the bullous erythroderma.
