Staphylococcal Scalded Skin Syndrome*

Figure

• 

  Fig. 1 Diffuse erythroderma involves the neck, trunk, and extremities with sandpaper-like coarseness (A), and perioral crust and fissure (B) were observed. Several vesicobullae and erosive lesions were observed in the lower abdomen, without Nikolsky sign (C). The desquamation worsened and the erythema gradually faded on the 8th day after admission (D~F) (We received the patient's consent form about publishing all photographic materials).

• 

  Fig. 2 In histology, neutrophils seen in the subcorneal lesion with mild perivascular lymphocytic infiltration were observed, but blistering was not distinct (H&E, A: ×40; B: ×200). Acantholysis was observed with little or scarce inflammatory cell infiltrate and no cell necrosis (C: H&E, ×100).
