Staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome, a disease rarely reported in adults, developed in a 38-year-old male while on steroid therapy for chronic active hepatitis. Studies of immunologic parameters important in staphylococcal host defense revealed normal opsonic activity and phagocytic function but marked defects in neutrophil chemotaxis and T-lymphocyte function. Compromised host defense appears to play a significant role in the pathogenesis of the syndrome in adults.
葡萄球菌烫伤样皮肤综合征在成人中鲜有报道，一名38岁男性在接受慢性活动性肝炎类固醇治疗时患上了该疾病。对葡萄球菌宿主防御中重要的免疫参数研究显示，其调理活性和吞噬功能正常，但中性粒细胞趋化性和T淋巴细胞功能存在明显缺陷。宿主防御受损似乎在成人该综合征的发病机制中起重要作用。
