Background: Under-five populations are at higher risk of Staphylococcal Scalded Skin Syndrome (SSSS). The incidence of SSSS in developing countries is still a concern because the staphylococcal infection rate is high. This report aims to describe the clinical profiles of SSSS in infants below 1-year-old.
Case: 7 month-old baby boy came with a chief complaint of skin blister for 7 days. It had been preceded by erythema on the right axilla, which turned into blisters on both axilla, perioral, trunk region, and both extremities the following day. The complaint was accompanied by fever. Five days before, he had experienced the common cold. On examinations, he was alert, weighed 9.1 kg, with a heart rate of 134 beats/minute, respiratory rate 40 times/minute, SpO2 98%, and axillary temperature 37.8oC. There were crusts and blisters on the face and trunk with positive Nikolsky’s sign. Genital and lower extremities looked erythematous. Laboratory results showed leukocytes 19,240/uL, neutrophil 50.7%, lymphocytes 35.2%, hemoglobin 9.9 g/dL, hematocrit 30.2%, and platelet 679,000 /uL. He was diagnosed with SSSS and was suggested for hospitalization. He received maintenance fluid therapy with D5%:¼NS 100 ml/kg/day, Cefotaxime injection 3 x 35 mg/kg, Paracetamol syrup 3 x 10 mg/kg, Fusidic Acid 2% cream twice a day, Gentamicin eye ointment 0.3% twice a day, and non-adherent dressing twice a day. He was discharged in good condition after 5 days of hospitalization.
Conclusion: The knowledge about the clinical profiles of SSSS is important in order to give rapid management and reduce mortality.
