Introduction:
Cushing syndrome caused by application of topical corticosteroids is rarely reported. Systemic side effects
like suppression of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, growth retardation in children and iatrogenic Cushing syndrome
can occur even in small doses of potent topical steroids.1
Case Summary:
This is a case of a 3-month old female who was referred to our department due to generalized erythema
with desquamation. History revealed that the patient had recurrent eczema and the mother applied an over-the-counter
medication containing Ketoconazole+Clobetasol 10mg/500mcg per 7-gram cream thrice daily for ten weeks. The
estimated topical steroid applied weekly was around 8.5 grams and at time of admission, the patient had been exposed to
approximately 50 grams of a potent topical corticosteroid. The patient presented with fever, irritability, and had positive
Nikolsky sign thus managed as a case of staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome associated with topical steroid – induced
iatrogenic Cushing syndrome. Unfortunately, patient’s condition worsened and with progressive pneumonia, she expired
on the 23rd hospital day. The fatal outcome was due to SSSS which was complicated by progressive pneumonia and topical
steroid – induced iatrogenic Cushing syndrome. The complex interplay of these features eventually led to sepsis and
death.
Conclusion
This case highlights the risks related to abuse of potent steroid-containing preparations and the importance of
education to prevent severe and catastrophic outcomes of injudicious steroid use.

Summary
Staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome (SSSS) is typically a clinical diagnosis,1 affecting primarily
neonates and children. It is characterised by a diffuse skin disorder with tenderness, erythema, large
wrinkled superficial blistering, and desquamation caused by the hematogenous dissemination of
exotoxin-producing strains of staphylococcus aureus to the skin.4,10 Hospital admission is required for
intravenous anti-staphylococcal antibiotic therapy and supportive care.
The rarity of SSSS in adults is best explained by the presence of exotoxins neutralizing antibodies and
renal elimination of the toxins.2
Two major risk factors are kidney failure and immunosuppression.
Therefore, SSSS in adults warrants thorough evaluation.3 Mortality is also greater than 60% in adults,
attributed to predisposing comorbid conditions.1,4
One of the mimickers of SSSS is toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN). Here, we report a successful
treatment of SSSS in an adult with recreational drug abuse and incidental liver cirrhosis possibly
secondary to hepatitis C viral infection, after careful exclusion of TEN.

Korean Journal of Dermatology 1972;10(3):207-211
We have presented three cases of Ritter's disease appearing on 11, 14, and 14 days old boys respectively. Staphyloccccus albus was cultured from bullar contents of case 1 and 2, and coaguIase positive staphylococcus from case 3. These patients were successfully treated with systemic and topical antimicrobials.

We experienced a patient of 13 days old female who was diagnosed with Ritter's disease and reported with brief review of literatures. 3 days before entry, she was suffered from fever, irritability and bullous skin lesions suddenly. And then coagulase-positive staphylococcus aureus was isolated from skin lesions and treated with systemic and local supportive measures.

Author reported a case of Ritters disease,, 12 days old, male, who had visited with complaining generalized skin exfoliation. This patient was suffered from erythematous papules, vesicles and bullae on entire body from 7 days ago. He was treated with antibiotics and antibiotic ointment, and was discharged.

9.One Case of Staphylococcal Scalded Skin Syndrome (SSSS).
Journal of the Korean Pediatric Society 1977;20(3):231-234
SSSS, developed in a 2-week-old male baby is reported with a review of the literature. The patient was admitted in the early stage of the disease with clinical symptoms and signs of neonatal sepsis. He was started on methicillin from 2nd hospital day which apparently could not prevent the development of generalized desquamation. He was discharged after 2 week of therapy with normal skin.

10.A Case of Staphylococcal Scalded skin Syndrome.
Journal of the Korean Pediatric Society 1980;23(2):165-168
One case of the staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome was reported in 15 days old female newborn infant. Since 5 days prior to admission, she was suffered from high fever, irritability, and generalized vesicobullous skin lesions which were suddenly developed. We isolated Staphylococcus epidermidis from bullous lesions. The patient was completely recovered with systemic and local supportive care. We also reviewed briefly related literatures.
