Nota clínica Escarlatina estafilocócica como manifestación atenuada del síndrome de escaldadura estafilocócica

Staphylococcal scarlet fever as a mild manifestation of Staphylococcal Scalded Skin Syndrome Se presenta el caso de un nino de cuatro anos con fiebre, adenopatias y faringoamigdalitis con exan - tema escarlatiniforme. Se trato con amoxicilina/acido clavulanico y evoluciono favorablemente. Se aislo Staphylococcus aureus en la faringe y dos semanas despues presento descamacion en dedo de guante. Parece tratarse de una forma abortada del sindrome de escaldadura estafilococica. We report the case of a four years old child with fever, adenopathies, pharyngitis and scarlet micro- papular exanthema. He was treated with amoxicillin/clavulanic acid and he had a favourable outcome. Staphylococcus aureus was isolated from his throat. Two weeks later he presented exfoliation. It seems to be an abortive form of Staphylococcal Scalded Skin Syndrome.
