This podcast will give you an approach to staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome (SSSS), a blistering skin infection that is seen mainly in infants and young children. In this episode, listeners will 1) identify and describe the morphology of lesions seen in SSSS, 2) discuss the pathophysiology and risk factors for the development of SSSS, 3) review the differential diagnosis and the management of SSSS by presenting a clinical scenario, and 4) counsel caregivers on the treatment of SSSS. The podcast was created by Jasmine Gill, a third year medical student at the University of Alberta, in collaboration with Dr. Melanie Lewis, a Professor and General Pediatrician from the Stollery Children’s Hospital.
