    Author: Larrègue M, Kalis B, Bressieux JM, Daniel J.
    Journal: Ann Dermatol Venereol; 1977 Apr; 104(4):269-74. PubMed ID: 142436.
    Abstract:
    The exfoliating exotoxin of serotype II staphylococci is responsable of three diseases with prevailing dermatologic symptoms: staphylococcal scarlet fever, staphylococcal Lyell syndrom and Ritter-Lyell disease. Melish demonstrated the effect of staphylococcal exotoxin on new-born mice less than five days old. This experimental model allowed to study the characteristics of the toxin. Precocious antistaphylococcal antibiotherapy is necessary.
