How is Streptococcus impetigo differentiated from Staphylococcus impetigo? Why is it always important to treat Streptococcus impetigo?

Streptococcus impetigo manifests with vesicles not bullae (although this is difficult to differentiate clinically). Glomerulonephritis may develop secondary to untreated Streptococcus impetigo.

What is necrotizing fasciitis and how is it treated?

Very serious subcutaneous infection that spreads rapidly along fascial plane typically after trauma of the skin. Can be either polymicrobial or monomi-crobial (classically S. pyogenes). Treat with aggressive surgical debridement (including amputation) and antibiotics active against the likely pathogens. (If group A Streptococcus, use penicillin and clindamycin.)
