The course of infection in a 3-week-old premature newborn suffering from extensive dermatitis with flaccid blisters is described. Staphylococcus aureus was recovered from a local wound infection around a chest tube inserted to drain a postoperative chylothorax. The strain isolated tested positive for the eta gene for exfoliative toxin A, the causative agent of staphylococcal scalded-skin syndrome (SSSS). In this case, prematurity and loss of chylus with consecutive lymphopenia may have contributed to development of SSSS.
描述了一名3周大的早产新生儿的感染病程,该患儿患有广泛的伴有松弛水疱的皮炎。从为引流术后乳糜胸而插入的胸管周围的局部伤口感染中分离出金黄色葡萄球菌。分离出的菌株对剥脱性毒素A的eta基因检测呈阳性,剥脱性毒素A是葡萄球菌烫伤样皮肤综合征(SSSS)的病原体。在这种情况下,早产和乳糜丢失伴连续性淋巴细胞减少可能促成了SSSS的发生。
