The bacteriologic, epidemiologic, clinical, and diagnostic findings and management of the scalded skin syndrome (SSS) in 42 children are reported SSS may present in one of three ways: (1) Ritter's disease in infants, characterized by an acute, generalized bullous dermatitis simulating the appearance of scalded skin, followed by exfoliation; (2) Lyell's disease, or toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), in children or adults, with scalded skin and bullae followed by extensive exfoliation; or (3) a nonstreptococcal scarlatiniform eruption, or staphylococcal scarlet fever, manifested by a generalized scarlatiniform erythema ans subsequent minimal to moderate fine desquamation. Staphylococcus aureus was isolated and implicated as the causative agent in 32 of the 42 children; nine of the other ten children had received a drug or vaccine preceding their rash. SSS in children has increased in frequency recently, is usually due to S aureus infection with potential epidemic aspects, can be recognized easily by its unusual clinical features, and has an excellent prognosis with appropriate management.
