Abstract

A case of the “Ritter’s Disease" was presented. The 15-day-old male infant suffered from generalized erythematous papular, vesicular or bullous and occasional exfoliative lesions, which had developed 9 days before. Coagulase positive staphylococcus aureus was isolated by the bacteriologic culture method from the exudative bullous lesions and the Nikolsky’s sign was positve. The patient was completely recovered with systemic and local supportive therapies.
