Aw poor angel, I hope she recovered quickly! Dr. M is this something that just happens spontaneously or is there a precursor?

[@lmellick]

The precursor is usually a staphylococcal infection somewhere in the body. Thanks for asking!

Another very nice video. Hey, when did you get the avatar for these videos? I haven't seen it before, but maybe I missed it. Makes me want to get an avatar. How do I get one? I really NEED an avatar now! Haha! Peace, my friend.

[@lmellick]

Hah! In reality I am learning animation to augment the educational value of my videos. This was my first attempt at animation.

[@JoelWelter]

Well, I like it. Pixar watch out!! @@lmellick

My 5 year old granddaughter was just admitted to the hospital last night with SSSS. The doctors want to keep her for 2-3 more days. Is there anything we can do to stop this from happening again? Is it contagious?

[@lmellick]

Not really. We carry staphylococcus aureus in our nose and other areas of the body. It's mostly good hygiene activities such as washing hands and bathing.

[@daduckess]

How did you treat it?

[@NickzAndMikz]

Antibiotics and likely admission to the hospital

How to differentiate it from sjs

[@lmellick]

Nikolsky sign is seen in SSSS, TEN, and Pemphigus vulgaris but not SJS. In contrast to the superficial blistering in SSSS, SJS and TEN demonstrate subepidermal blistering and full-thickness epidermal necrosis resulting in deeper erosions. Mucosal involvement is seen in SJS and TEN but absent in SSSS. The diffuse erythema is more consistent with SSSS.

[@vivek-ng7si]

@@lmellick thank you

[@6thsun25]

maybe its stevens johnson?

[@anomaly9743]

Good differential. Although sjs is caused by drugs e.g. phenytoin, penicillin's, nsaids.

[@smooth-obturator22]

SJS tends to cause a lot of deeper necrosis than SSSS, and also it effects the mucosal membranes whereas this does not.
