Staphylococcal Scalded Skin Syndrome (SSSS) is characterized by denudation of the skin caused by species. SSSS is common in infants, children, and rarely immunosuppressed adults or those with severe renal disease. We report a case of a 70-year-old female patient with an acute kidney injury who developed peeling of the skin over the axilla and back, which gradually spread to involve the upper and lower limbs, chest, and abdomen. A skin biopsy was performed, and a histopathological examination revealed a sub-corneal split consistent with SSSS. The patient was diagnosed with adult SSSS and was started on treatment with intravenous antibiotics, following which the skin lesions resolved.
葡萄球菌性烫伤样皮肤综合征（SSSS）的特征是由特定菌种引起的皮肤剥脱。SSSS在婴儿和儿童中很常见，在免疫抑制的成年人或患有严重肾病的成年人中很少见。我们报告了一例70岁女性急性肾损伤患者，其腋窝和背部皮肤出现脱皮，随后逐渐蔓延至上肢、下肢、胸部和腹部。进行了皮肤活检，组织病理学检查显示角质层下分离，符合SSSS表现。该患者被诊断为成人SSSS，并开始接受静脉抗生素治疗，随后皮肤病变消退。
