1) Staph. and/or Strept. Infections a) Impetigo contagiosa The most common skin infection in children. Impetigo is a contagious superficial bacterial skin infection caused by staphylococci and to a lesser extent by streptococci pyogenes.
Slide 6-

Infection is usually predisposed by different factors mainly: General diseases lowering the general defense mechanisms. Malnutrition Mild trauma to skin Insect bites Abraded skin lesions Poor hygiene Impetigo contagiosa may complicate certain skin diseases such as pediculosis, scabies and eczematous eruptions.

Complications Glomerulonephritis due to beta- hemolytic Streptococci Scalded skin syndrome This is a serious skin problem due to exotoxins of Staph aureus
Slide 12-

Treatment Systemic antibiotics Usually Penicillinase-resistant penicillin analogue such as Flucoxacillin or an appropriate Cephalosporin. Local treatment of lesions Antiseptic baths such as 1:5000 -1:10000 Potassium permanganate. Antibiotic cream is then applied after drying the lesions with clean gauze.
Slide 13-

Indications of Systemic antibiotics Fever. Extensive lesions. Lymphadenopathy. Bullous impetigo.
Slide 14-

b) Ecthyma Ecthyma is a deep infection of the skin affecting mainly the legs. The lesion begins as a vesico-pustule, which ulcerates leaving punched out ulcer covered with a dark brown crust. The lesion takes a long time to heal, it may take weeks or more leaving a scar. Treatment: is the same as that applied for impetigo.

2) Streptococcal infections Erysipelas: Erysipelas is an acute bacterial infection of the skin and subcutaneous tissues caused by beta-hemolytic Streptococci. The commonest sites involved are the face and extremities.
Slide 17-

Clinical features Prodromal symptoms High fever, chills, headache, vomiting, and pain in the joints. Skin manifestations *The infection is usually predisposed by trauma to the skin. *The lesion has sharply demarcated erythema which is bright red & hot with bullae formation. *Relapsing erysipelas damages the lymphatics and may lead to permanent lymphoedema.

Treatment Bed rest. Penicillin is the treatment of choice, penicillin G (600.000 units IM twice daily) till all signs & symptoms disappear and then continued in a dose of 600.000 units/day for another 5 days to guard against recurrence. Erythromycin 500mg/8h for 7-10 days. Symptomatic ttt for pain & fever.
Slide 20-

b) Cellulitis An inflammation of the loose C.T. of the subcutis caused by a bacteria, usually strep or staph Appears as a hot , raised, tender or painful plaque with ill-defined margins that fade into the surroundings. The skin is dull red, no bullae develop. Often associated with skin trauma (portal of entry). Treated as erysipelas.

a) Folliculitis Small pustules located at the base of hairs within the follicle structure. Generally a staph infection. Warm moist skin (bathing suits) and irritation of skin (shaving) are risk factors Treatment consists of oral or topical antibiotics.

Superficial folliculitis Barber's itch) Impetigo of Bockhart) . Tinea barbae. Pseudofolliculitis barbae. Herpetic folliculitis.
Slide 27-

Deep folliculitis Boils and carbuncles. Acne keloidalis nuchae.
Slide 28-

Folliculitis: Common
Slide 29-

Folliculitis: Special Circumstances Pseudofolliculitis barbae (razor bumps) Tightly curled hairs embed into skin and irritate it generating raised, reddened papule or pustule Treated by allowing hair to grow out, using hair growth inhibitors. Acne keliodalis Inflammation from a folliculitis at base of neck, generally in back. Treated with antibiotics or local steroid injections.

b) Furuncle (Boil) A furuncle or boil is an acute round, tender, circumscribed, follicular and perifollicular staphylococcal inflammation, which tends to suppurate. Treatment: Compresses Topical antibiotics as Gentamycin (Garamycin cream) or Sodium fucidate (Fucidin cream). Antibiotic orally and locally will lead usually to rapid resolution of the lesion.

c) Carbuncle A carbuncle is a circumscribed inflammation caused usually by Staph. aureus complicating certain diseases such as diabetes or other conditions that lower the body resistance.
Slide 35-

Clinical features *Carbuncle is usually single and located on the back and lower side of the neck and on other hairy areas. *Carbuncles are composed of furuncles joined together in the subcutaneous area and when sloughing shows multiple openings on the surface of the skin. *Suppuration is deeply seated than in the furuncles. Treatment The same treatment applied for furuncles.
