A blistering skin disorder caused by exfoliative toxins produced by Staphylococcus aureus infection. The toxins cause the formation of bullae and diffuse skin desquamation. The lesions may be localized or generalized, far away from the initial site of infection. The disease is staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome (MONDO_0018181). Also known as: Ritter disease, Ritter's disease, SSSS, dermatitis exfoliativa neonatorum, generalised exfoliative disease, generalized exfoliative disease, pemphigus neonatorum, scalded skin syndrome.
