Iatrogenic injury in childhood staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome.

Staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome (SSSS) may cause significant morbidity in children. It is common practice for adhesive occlusive dressings to be used to apply topical local anaesthetic prior to venepuncture. We report two cases in which removal of these dressings from children with SSSS caused injury and discomfort in areas previously free from blistering. We recommend that an alternative method of topical anaesthetic application is used to minimize skin trauma in these patients.

Nuclear magnetic resonance imaging: applications for neurological abnormalities.

In recent clinical trials, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imagers have demonstrated their ability to generate images with superb contrast and spatial detail in multiple planes. Blood vessels are especially well defined without the use of contrast agents. Although NMR is highly sensitive to changes in tissue composition, the potential of NMR to differentiate among different pathologic entities remains to be fully elucidated.
