Staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome: Causes and incidence
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))

The causative organism in SSSS is group 2 Staphylococcus aureus, primarily phage type 71, which produces exotoxins that cause detachment of the epidermis. Predisposing factors may include impaired immunity and renal insufficiency — present to some extent in the normal neonate because of immature development of these systems.

SSSS is most prevalent in infants age 1 to 3 months but may develop in children. It’s uncommon in adults.

About prevalence and incidence statistics:

The term 'prevalence' of Carotenemia usually refers to the estimated population of people who are managing Carotenemia at any given time. The term 'incidence' of Carotenemia refers to the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Carotenemia diagnosed each year. Hence, these two statistics types can differ: a short-lived disease like flu can have high annual incidence but low prevalence, but a life-long disease like diabetes has a low annual incidence but high prevalence. For more information see about prevalence and incidence statistics.
