  • Title: Staphylococcal scalded-skin syndrome.
    Author: Mirabile R, Weiser M, Barot LR, Brown AS.
    Journal: Plast Reconstr Surg; 1986 May; 77(5):752-6. PubMed ID: 3703998.
    Abstract:
    Staphylococcal scalded-skin syndrome, an exfoliative dermopathy, affects neonatal and infant children. A classification of this disorder, as well as etiology and therapeutic modalities, is discussed. Topical medications such as used for treating partial-thickness burns cannot always be used in the newborn because of potential toxicity. Supportive therapy, specific antibiotics, and relatively inert dressings are recommended.
