Journal Title: International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development - Year 2020, Vol 4, Issue 6
Abstract
Ritter’s disease which is medically known as Staphylococcal Scalded Skin Syndrome SSSS , is a skin condition induced by exfoliative toxins produced by group II coagulase positive staphylococci. This disease is most common in children and neonates which has high chances to be fatal if treatment is not initiated as early as possible. In this report, a case of a 2 year old child is being presented, who came with the complaints of erythematous lesions over lower jaw and neck for four days after which the lesions progressed to the right eye. The lesions were associated with peeling of skin indicating positive Nikolsky’s sign. Based on clinical examinations a diagnosis of Staphylococcal Scalded Skin Syndrome was established. The patient responded favorably to the treatment which included i.v. antibiotics ampicillin and cloxacillin , analgesics syrup Paracetamol and other supportive measures. Patient was discharged after six days on complete resolution of symptoms. Riya Antony | Neethu P.
