Abstract

The most common skin infection found in children is simple superficial impetigo. It occurs so commonly that it is usually treated on clinical grounds. It is generally considered that there are two basic forms of the disease which may be distinguished clinically, bacteriologically, and histologically. The first is considered to be primarily of streptococcal origin and is characterized by thick, crusted lesions; the second is of staphylococcal origin and is associated with fluid- filled bullae.
