| Popis: | The staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome (SSSS) is a febrile, self-limited illness. It generally affects infants and children; however a few adults, particularly those with immunosuppression, have developed a similar condition. In adult cases, mortality is high. Here, we report a very rare case of SSSS in an adult without underlying diseases. A 68-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of spondylitis and arthritis of the right knee joint.The clinical findings and bacteriologic examinations as well as the skin biopsy were consistent with the diagnosis of SSSS. The patient was supported by a mechanical ventilator and successfully treated with antibiotics. |
