We report a case of a 2-year-old female who presented to the hospital with her parents due to a burn to the buttocks with a history of stool expelling from the anus and becoming trapped against the skin.

Article Synopsis
- - Staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome (SSSS) is a severe skin condition mostly affecting infants and children, caused by the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, particularly phage group 71.
- - It typically arises from infections in areas like the nasopharynx, umbilicus, or through superficial injuries, and leads to symptoms such as blisters and skin peeling due to toxins produced by the bacteria.
- - A case study featured an 11-day-old newborn diagnosed with SSSS caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), which was treated successfully with clindamycin after confirming the presence of a virulence gene known as Panton-Valentine leukocidin (

Background: Pediatric non-accidental trauma often necessitates the involvement of protective services. However, the subjectivity and lack of standardization of referral infrastructure may result in some discrepancies between referral patterns and instances of child abuse.
Methods: An institutional retrospective chart review was conducted between 2015 and 2021, in which all cases of patients under the age of 14 who suffered a burn injury and received a child protective service (CPS) consult were reviewed.

Burn injuries are associated with significant morbidity and mortality, and lungs are the most common organ to fail. Interestingly, patients with alcohol intoxication at the time of burn have worse clinical outcomes, including pulmonary complications. Using a clinically relevant murine model, we have previously reported that episodic ethanol exposure before burn exacerbated lung inflammation.

Background: In-hospital alcohol testing provides an opportunity to implement prevention strategies for patients with high risk of experiencing repeated alcohol-related injuries. However, barriers to alcohol testing in emergency settings can prevent patients from being tested. In this study, we aimed to understand potential biases in current data on the completion of blood alcohol tests for major trauma patients at hospitals in Victoria, Australia.
