Abstract

Varicella is usually a well-tolerated disease in normal children. Pyogenic infections involving the skin are the commonest complications and their potential severity is emphasized by our recent experience with two children who suffered from gangrene as a result of cutaneous superinfection with group A beta-hemolytic streptococci. We present the recognition and management of these patients in an effort to reacquaint physicians with this potentially fatal infection.

摘要

水痘在正常儿童中通常是一种耐受性良好的疾病。涉及皮肤的化脓性感染是最常见的并发症，我们最近遇到两名儿童因A组β溶血性链球菌皮肤超级感染而发生坏疽，这凸显了这些并发症的潜在严重性。我们介绍了对这些患者的识别和处理方法，以期让医生重新认识这种潜在的致命感染。
