RESUMEN
La dermatitis perianal estreptocócica es una infección cutánea superficial del área perianal, descrita casi exclusivamente en niños, causada por el estreptococo betahemolítico del grupo A. Los síntomas incluyen prurito anal y dolor rectal, estreñimiento secundario y deposiciones con hebras de sangre. Existe a menudo una erupción perianal bien delimitada y brillante. La enfermedad resulta con frecuencia infradiagnosticada, y en ocasiones se trata inadecuadamente. Se exponen los casos de 2 niños, de 2 y 4 años, con la forma típica de presentación de la enfermedad
ABSTRACT
Perianal streptococcal dermatitis is a superficial skin infection of the perianal region, almost exclusively reported in children, that is caused by group A beta-hemolytic streptococci. Symptoms include perianal itching and rectal pain, secondary constipation and blood-streaked stools. There is usually a well demarcated, bright red perianal rash. The disease is often misdiagnosed and is sometimes treated inappropriately. We report the cases of a 4-year-old and a 2-year-old patient who presented the typical manifestations of the disease
