- Abstract
The article describes the case of a 68-year-old man with staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome (SSSS) which was successfully treated with plasma exchange. Topics discussed include his laboratory tests which showed elevated C-reactive protein and serum creatinine, the result of the histopathology of his skin which revealed upper epidermal layer detachement without inflammation in the epidermis and dermis, and the high mortality of SSSS in adults.
