Impetigo is a common skin infection. It is most common in children, particularly children in unhealthy living conditions. In adults, it may follow other skin disorders. Impetigo may follow a recent upper respiratory infection such as a cold or other viral infection. It is similar to cellulitis, but is more superficial, involving infection of the top layers of the skin with streptococcus (strep), staphylococcus (staph), or both.
When impetigo is caused by Group A streptococcus, it begins as tiny blisters. These blisters eventually burst to reveal small wet patches of red skin that may weep fluid. Gradually, a tan or yellowish-brown crust covers the affected area, making it look like it has been coated with honey or brown sugar.
Impetigo that is not caused by Group A streptococcus is usually caused by Staphylococcus aureus. This type of impetigo may cause larger fluid-containing blisters that first appear clear, then cloudy. These blisters are more likely to stay intact longer on the skin without bursting.
The presentation of impetigo may take on more than one form. Some authors suggest that differences are due to the staphylococcal strain involved and the relative activity of the exotoxin.
In impetigo contagiosa, the lesions begin with a single 2- to 4-mm erythematous macule that rapidly evolves into a vesicle or a pustule. This vesicle is very fragile and ruptures early, leaving a crusted exudate of a honey or yellow color over the superficial erosion. The infection spreads to contiguous and distal areas through inoculation of other wounds from scratching.
Bullous impetigo presents with small or large, superficial, fragile bullae on the trunk and the extremities. Often, only the remnants of ruptured bullae are seen at the time of presentation. The separation of the epidermis is due to an exotoxin produced by staphylococci, which may be the only organism present in cases of bullous impetigo.
Common impetigo is the term applied when the infection occurs in preexisting wounds.
Impetigo also can present as folliculitis, which is considered to be impetigo of the hair follicles caused by S aureus.
Ecthyma is a deeper, ulcerated impetigo infection, often occurring with lymphadenitis.
