Abstract
Complicated bacterial skin and soft tissue infections are rare in childhood, but their knowledge is of great importance because of their potentially life-threatening nature. Rapid diagnosis, immediate antimicrobial therapy and in some cases, urgent surgical intervention is needed. An 8-year-old otherwise healthy, obese girl is reported, who developed a life-threatening disease from seemingly harmless varicella symptoms. In addition to the case’s study, the differential diagnosis and the management of bacterial skin and soft tissue infections are described.
