Staphylococcal Scalded Skin Syndrome in a Child with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia

There is an overall incidenceof SSSS between 0.09 and 0.13 cases per 1 million inhabitants annually.The accurate incidence of SSSS in immune deficient population is notknown, and it is supposed that it is very rare; only a few case reports particularly in adult patients have been reported.

Abstract

Staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome (SSSS) is a disease caused by theexfoliative toxin of Staphylococcus aureus. There is an overall incidenceof SSSS between 0.09 and 0.13 cases per 1 million inhabitants annually.The accurate incidence of SSSS in immune deficient population is notknown, and it is supposed that it is very rare; only a few case reports particularly in adult patients have been reported. In this study, we present apatient with a diagnosis of acute lymphocytic leukemia who developedSSSS after suppurative otitis media during febrile neutropenia attack.

Özet

Stafilokoksik haşlanmış deri sendromu (SHDS) Staphylococcus aureus eksfolyatif toksininın yol açtığı nadir bir hastalıktır. İnsidansı yılda bir milyonda 0.09 ila 0.13 arasında değişmektedir. İmmünyetmezlikli bireylerdeki insidansı ise bilinmemektedir ancak çok nadir olduğu tahmin edilebilir. Bu konuda yetişkin hastalarda çok az olgu bildirilmiştir. Bu yazıda, febril nötropeni atağı sırasında süpüratif otitis media sonrası SHDS gelişen akut lenfositik lösemi tanılı bir çocuk hasta sunulmuştur
