    Abstract:
    A 33-year-old man with mild acute graft-vs-host disease after an allogeneic bone marrow transplant for chronic myelogenous leukemia developed a necrolytic rash 90 days after transplant. A diagnosis of staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome was made when a skin biopsy specimen revealed a split in the granular layer and phage group 2, type 71 Staphylococcus aureus was cultured from the blood.
