Toxin involvement in staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome.
The production of staphylococcal exfoliative toxin A (ETA) and toxin B (ETB), toxic shock syndrome toxin (TSST-1), and enterotoxins A-E was analyzed in 60 Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated from children with scalded skin syndrome (15 with generalized exfoliative syndrome, 28 with bullous impetigo, and 17 with staphylococcal scarlet fever). All strains isolated from patients with generalize...
متن کاملDevelopment and evaluation of detection systems for staphylococcal exfoliative toxin A responsible for scalded-skin syndrome.
Staphylococcal scalded-skin syndrome is usually diagnosed clinically by its characteristic exfoliating rash. Isolation of Staphylococcus aureus from the patient further supports the diagnosis. Several detection systems have been developed to determine whether the isolated strain produces exfoliative toxin, but none are routinely available in hospital laboratories. In a novel approach, we used c...

متن کاملStaphylococcal scalded skin syndrome.
The disease Staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome (SSSS) is the clinical term used for a spectrum of blistering skin diseases induced by the exfoliative (epidermolytic) toxins (ET) of Staphylococcus aureus. Current synonyms include Ritter’s disease, bullous impetigo, pemphigus neonatorum, and staphylococcal scarlatiniform rash. It is a disease primarily aVecting infants and young children, but c...
متن کاملStaphylococcal scalded skin syndrome in two immunocompetent adults caused by exfoliatin B-producing Staphylococcus aureus.
An exfoliatin B-producing strain of Staphylococcus aureus was isolated from two adults with typical staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome (SSSS). One patient developed desquamation after a local staphylococcal infection of the hand, and the other developed exfoliation after nosocomially acquired staphylococcal endocarditis. Neither patient was immunocompromised, had evidence of renal insufficien...
