  • Title: Staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome in an immunocompetent adult: possible implication of low-dosage prednisone.
    Author: Shirin S, Gottlieb AB, Stahl EB.
    Journal: Cutis; 1998 Nov; 62(5):223-4. PubMed ID: 9836053.
    Abstract:
    Staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome (SSSS) mainly affects infants and young children. Very few cases of adult SSSS have been reported. Adult SSSS is usually associated with immunosuppression, overwhelming sepsis, and kidney failure. We report the case of an immunocompetent 51-year-old woman without renal failure who sustained SSSS after a 7-day course of oral prednisone administered postoperatively.
