ABSTRACT

CONTEXT: Staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome is an exfoliative skin disease. Reports of this syndrome in newborns caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus are rare but, when present, rapid diagnosis and treatment is required in order to decrease morbidity and mortality. CASE REPORT: A premature newly born girl weighing 1,520 g, born with a gestational age of 29 weeks and 4 days, developed staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome on the fifth day of life. Cultures on blood samples collected on the first and fourth days were negative, but Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Enterococcus sp. (vancomycin-sensitive) developed in blood cultures performed on the day of death (seventh day), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Serratia marcescens were identified in cultures on nasopharyngeal, buttock and abdominal secretions. In addition to these two Gram-negative bacilli, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus was isolated in a culture on the umbilical stump (seventh day). The diagnosis of staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome was based on clinical criteria.


CONTEXTO: A síndrome da pele escaldada estafilocócica é uma doença esfoliativa de pele. São raros os relatos desta síndrome causada por Staphylococcus aureusresistente à meticilina em neonatos, mas, quando presentes, exigem diagnóstico e tratamento rápidos para diminuir a morbidade e mortalidade. RELATO DE CASO: Uma menina recém-nascida prematura, pesando 1.520 g ao nascimento, com idade gestacional de 29 semanas e 4 dias, desenvolveu síndrome da pele escaldada estafilocócica no quinto dia de vida. As culturas de sangue coletadas no primeiro e quarto dias foram negativas, mas houve desenvolvimento de Pseudomonas aeruginosa e Enterococcus sp. (vancomicina sensível) na hemocultura realizada no dia do óbito (sétimo dia) e Pseudomonas aeruginosa e Serratia marcescens foram identificadas nas culturas de secreção da nasofaringe, nádega e da secreção abdominal. Na cultura do coto umbilical (sétimo dia), além desses dois bacilos Gram-negativos, foi isolado o Staphylococcus aureus resistente à meticilina. O diagnóstico da síndrome da pele escaldada estafilocócica foi baseado em critério clínico.
