Rheumatology Case Report: Bullous Lesions in Patient with Lupus

Management of Staphylococcal scalded syndrome includes appropriate antibacterial coverage and intravenous hydration. Given the syndrome’s rarity and severity, this case emphasizes the importance of considering Staphylococcal scalded syndrome in the differential diagnosis of bullous lesions in a patient with SLE.
