Abstract

Staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome (SSSS) mainly affects infants and young children. Very few cases of adult SSSS have been reported. Adult SSSS is usually associated with immunosuppression, overwhelming sepsis, and kidney failure. We report the case of an immunocompetent 51-year-old woman without renal failure who sustained SSSS after a 7-day course of oral prednisone administered postoperatively.
