An elderly man with Hodgkin's disease who was receiving multiple drug chemotherapy became septic and a wide spread bullous eruption developed. Intraepidermal cleavage on skin biopsy supported a diagnosis of the staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome (SSSS) type of toxic epidermal necrolysis. Blood cultures confirmed a staphylococcal septicemia. Occurrence of this syndrome in an adult is unusual. A review of the literature on SSSS indicates an increased mortality when adults are compared with children with this syndrome.
一名患有霍奇金病且正在接受多种药物化疗的老年男性发生败血症，并出现广泛的大疱性皮疹。皮肤活检显示表皮内分离，支持诊断为葡萄球菌烫伤样皮肤综合征（SSSS）型中毒性表皮坏死松解症。血培养证实为葡萄球菌败血症。该综合征在成年人中发生并不常见。对关于SSSS的文献综述表明，与患有该综合征的儿童相比，成年人的死亡率更高。
