Prevalence Less Common; children <24 months of age
More common; children > 24 months of age
Etiology S. aureus S. aureus and S. pyogenes
Site of Predilection Intact Skin Areas of traumatized skin on the face or extremities
Lesion Flaccid, transparent, roofed bullae that rupture spontaneously without a history of localized lymhadenopathy or cutaneous disruption
Discrete, fragile vesicles surrounded by an erythematous border. Vesicles become pustular, rupture and discharge a honey colored fluid that quickly forms honey-colored crusted plaque with rapid spread, occasional pruritus, and regional lymphadenopathy may follow a break in the skin
Adenopathy Absent Present
Speed of spread Moderate Rapid
Erythema Minimal or none Marked
Treatment of ImpetigoTopical antiseptics
Fusidic acid
Systemic antibioticsPenicillins or 1st generation cephalosporins
EcthymaDefinition: Ulcerative pyoderma of the skin
extending into the dermisCausative agent: S. aureus and Group A
