Description : Check out this medical PowerPoint presentation titled "DERMATOLOGIC INFECTIONS IN CHILDREN" by ROBERTA C. ROMERO, M.D., F.P.D.S.

This medical PowerPoint presentation tells us how dermatologic infections are a common problem in children, and they can be caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. These infections can affect any part of the skin, including the scalp, face, trunk, arms, and legs, and can cause a variety of symptoms, such as rash, itching, swelling, redness, and pain. Here are some common dermatologic infections in children:

Impetigo: This is a highly contagious bacterial infection that affects the skins surface. It appears as red sores or blisters that burst and leave a yellow-brown crust. It is common in children, especially those who attend day-care centers or schools.
Ringworm: This is a fungal infection that causes a circular rash with raised edges and a clear center. It can affect any part of the body, including the scalp, feet, and nails.
Scabies: This is a highly contagious parasitic infection that causes intense itching and a rash. It is caused by the Sarcoptes scabiei mite and can spread quickly in crowded conditions, such as day-care centers and schools.
Herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection: This virus causes cold sores or fever blisters around the mouth or on the lips. It can also cause genital herpes in older children and adolescents.
Molluscum contagiosum: This is a viral infection that causes small, flesh-colored bumps on the skin. It is spread by direct contact with an infected person or object.

Treatment for dermatologic infections in children depends on the cause of the infection. Bacterial infections may be treated with antibiotics, while antifungal or antiviral medications may be used to treat fungal or viral infections, respectively. Topical creams or ointments may also be used to relieve itching and inflammation. It is important to keep the affected area clean and dry, and to avoid scratching to prevent further infection or spread of the infection to others.

DIAGNOSIS: Impetigo Contagiosa Recognition Rapid evolution: Erythematous macule  papulovesicle  pustule  superficial erosions with honey-colored crusts (“mamaso”) Not tender, not painful, +/- fever Areas: face, extremities, buttocks Etiologic agents: Mainly Staph aureus, sometimes GABHS

2 year old boy with pustules over the upper lip of 4 days duration Painful Diagnosis??
Slide 22-

C A R B U N C L E S Folliculitis Fu-run-cles
Slide 23-

Major Bacterial Infections of the Skin
Slide 24-

Furuncles and Carbuncles If single and not involving the dangerous triangle of the face: simple incision and drainage may suffice. May apply topical mupirocin on surrounding skin to avoid inoculation with pathogen
Slide 25-

Historical perspective Comparison of Bacterial Isolates: *1995 **2005 Staphylococcus aureus 84.5% = 85.5% Sensitivity to Oxacillin 97.7% 55.4% *Romero R, et. al. Bacterial Isolates among primary and secondary skin infections in the community. Research paper in fulfillment of fellowship. Phil Children’s Medical Center ** Romero, R., et al.Efficacy and safety of mupirocin in superficial bacterial infection. Phil J Int Med. 2006
Slide 26-

Why the sudden change? Possibilities: (Philippine scenario) Incomplete intake of prescribed antibiotics Self medication – availability of antibiotics from local drugstores w/o prescription Application of “penicillin” powder on infected wounds
Slide 27-

Community Acquired Methicillin Resistant Staph Aureus (CA-MRSA) What is MRSA (CDC Definition)? MRSA is, by definition, any strain of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria that has developed resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics which include the penicillins (methicillin, dicloxacillin, nafcillin, oxacillin, etc.) and the cephalosporins. Community acquired MRSA is a hybrid strain from a previously hospitalized patient who developed MRSA and the strain normally found in the community.
Slide 28-

Community Acquired Methicillin Resistant Staph Aureus (CA-MRSA) The resistance of MRSA to beta-lactam antibiotics is due to the presence of the mecA gene sequence. The mecA gene produces transpeptidase PBP2a (penicillin-binding peptide) that decreases the bacterial affinity of the beta-lactam antibiotics. Most CA-MRSA hybrid strains may acquire a virulence factor not seen with HA-MRSA
Slide 29-

Management of CA-MRSA Most cases do not need hospitalization For furuncles and carbuncles: Incision and drainage Get culture and sensitivity Initiate antibiotic therapy Trimethoprim 160 mgs, Sulfamethoxazole 800mgs: 1 tablet 2 x a day or Clindamycin HCl 450 mgs 3x a day Frei, C.R. TMP or Clindamycin for CA-MRSA Skin Infections. J AM Board of Fam Med 2010:23(6):714=719
Slide 30-

No improvement or worsening after 2 days of antibiotics. Severe pain. Fever, nausea, vomiting, other constitutional signs and symptoms Recognition of Severe MRSA infection
Slide 31-

Management of CA-MRSA Most cases do not need hospitalization For furuncles and carbuncles: Incision and drainage Get culture and sensitivity Initiate antibiotic therapy Trimethoprim 160 mgs, Sulfamethoxazole 800mgs: 1 tablet 2 x a day or Clindamycin HCl 450 mgs 3x a day Note: in severe cases: HOSPITALIZE Frei, C.R. TMP or Clindamycin for CA-MRSA Skin Infections. J AM Board of Fam Med 2010:23(6):714=719
Slide 32-

2 year old boy with recurrent crops of carbuncles and furuncles responsive to oral cloxacillin. Problem: Why recurrent?
Slide 33-

Recurrent Furunculosis Frequent attacks of furuncles/carbuncles: (1 or more episodes per month despite oral antibiotics) Look for source of staphylococcus! May have to do culture of anterior nares of patient or caregiver(s) If +: Apply mupirocin 4x a day for 5 days to anterior nares Or Rifampicin plus Cloxacillin for 7 days
Slide 34-

Recurrent Staph infections Look for the source of infection (auto-inoculation? Personal contact?) “Reservoirs” of Staph aureus: 1. anterior nares 2. ears 3. throat 4. hands 5. axillae 6. perineum/anus
Slide 35-

Algorythm for recurrence Mupirocin BID-QID x 5 days applied on the internal nares Culture other sites (perineum, fingernails, Toe webs, axilla) Add rifampicin Or Rifampicin plus minocycline Rifampicin plus co-trimoxazole **MRSA Guay D.
