ABSTRACT
Serum sodium and potassium were measured in forty patients with impetigo contagiosum and ten normal control subjects. There was a statistically highly significant decrease in serum sodium [t= 0.000212] between patients and control groups, also the serum potassium was highly significant increased [t= 6.08 E-11] between patients and control groups. This increase in potassium level appears to be secondary to decrease serum sodium. So we can conclude that hyponatraemia may be a sharing factor in predisposition of impetigo contagiosum and high dietary intake of sodium chloride is recommended for these patients
