Staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome. Indian Journal of Pediatrics. 2002 Oct; 69(10): 899-901http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/83372Staphylococcal Scalded Skin Syndrome (SSSS) is a disease primarily of young children, characterized by exfoliative dermatitis caused by exfoliative toxin producing Staphylococcus aureus. We had three cases of SSSS with varied dermatological manifestations-diffuse/scarlitiniform erythema, generalized exfoliation, sand paper skin texture, flaccid bullae, erosions, seborrheic dermatitis like scaling and cracking in skin creases which can be confused with other skin conditions. Hence, a high index of suspicion, early diagnosis and prompt treatment is imperative.engFemaleHumansInfantInfant, NewbornStaphylococcal Scalded Skin Syndrome --diagnosisCase Reports
