Associated Outcomes of Different Intravenous Antibiotics Combined with 2% Mupirocin Ointment in the Treatment of Pediatric Patients with Staphylococcal Scalded Skin Syndrome.

Oxacillin resistance was rare, and clindamycin resistance was high in pediatric patients with SSSS in our district. Intravenous amoxicillin-clavulanic acid and cefuroxime combined with topical mupirocin were favorable due to a shorter intravenous treatment course and lower costs. Younger age, elevated WBC count, and CRP levels could indicate a longer course of treatment with intravenous antibiotics.
