Staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome (SSSS), not previously recorded as a chronic disease, persisted for 2 years in a 50-year-old woman with epilepsy and cerebellar ataxia. Lesions initially suggestive of erythema multiforme and toxic epidermal necrolysis evolved over 2 years into those typical for SSSS, with extensive erosions and subcorneal blisters, showing an epidermal split at the granular cell layer. Exfoliatin A-producing phage I-III Staphylococcus aureus, previously linked only to acute mild adult cases of SSSS, was cultured from purulent discharge in the patient's eyes, ears and open skin lesions. The roles of epilepsy and antiepileptic medications are discussed as possible predisposing factors.

Next-generation wound dressings with multiple biological functions hold promise for addressing the complications and pain associated with burn wounds. A hydrogel wound dressing loaded with a pain-relieving drug was developed for treating infected burn wounds. Polyvinyl alcohol chemically grafted with gallic acid (PVA-GA), sodium alginate chemically grafted with 3-aminobenzeneboronic acid (SA-PBA), Zn, and chitosan-coated borneol nanoparticles with anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving activities were combined to afford a nanoparticle-loaded hydrogel with a PVA-GA/Zn/SA-PBA network crosslinked via multiple physicochemical interactions.

Article Synopsis
- An infant girl developed widespread blisters and skin peeling, along with fever and cough, showing signs of growth and developmental delays.
- Imaging revealed kidney abnormalities, and genetic testing indicated a deletion on chromosome 17 affecting the HNF1B gene.
- Despite the potential diagnosis of Staphylococcal Scalded Skin Syndrome (SSSS), the child was effectively treated with antibiotics, highlighting an unusual case of 17q12 deletion syndrome with early kidney disease and pre-diabetes.

Aim: The aim of this review was to summarise the current knowledge on host-related factors that contribute to the development and severity of staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome (SSSS) in children.
Methods: A comprehensive assessment and analysis of the existing literature on SSSS clinical features, pathogenesis and susceptibility factors.
Results: SSSS is a blistering skin disease caused by circulating exfoliative toxins (ETs) of Staphylococcus aureus (S.
