Staphylococcal Scalded Skin Syndrome, also known as Ritter disease is a disease characterized by denudation of the skin caused by exotoxin producing strains of the Staphylococcus species, typically from a distant site. It usually presents 48 hours after birth and is rare in children older than six years. It may also present in immunocompromised adults or those with severe renal disease. This activity reviews the evaluation and treatment of staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in evaluating and treating this condition.
