Question
My child has developed a Staphylococcus aureus burn. How can I provide appropriate comprehensive treatment for them?
Answer
It is advisable to hospitalize the child for comprehensive medical management. This type of burn is caused by the exfoliating toxin produced by Staphylococcus aureus, which may lead to acute suppurative infection of the skin. Special attention should be paid to the prevention of infection at the burn site. After appropriate treatment, mild cases may recover within 1-2 weeks, while severe cases that are complicated by sepsis or pneumonia may be life-threatening.
