Staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome (SSSS) is an acute life-threatening disease of infants caused by an exotoxin produced by Staphylococcus aureus, most commonly group II phage type 71. A predisposing factor for adult infection is either renal compromise or immunosuppression.
Staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome is rarely observed in adults; only 32 cases have been reported. In contrast to infant cases, the mortality rate is high. Two major risk factors have been identified: kidney failure and immunosuppression.
