Impetigo
Caused by S. aureus a normal skin colonizer in up to 50% of people
Yellow, oozing, crusty sore, often starts in nose Itch is commonRequires antibioticExcluded for 24 hrs and keep covered at school (contagious) 1-3 days incubation

Group A Streptococcal Skin lesions usually caused by different strain than those causing “strep throat”Can cause glomerulonephritis if strain is
GrA B-hemolytic Blood or brown sugar (maple sugar; coke) urine May culture lesions to be sure what is infectious agent

Caused by inflammation to the hair follicles shaving/friction from tight clothes; ingrown
Typically infected with S. aureusAvoid triggerAntibiotics if infection suspected

Protecting Student AthletesSpread Skin to Skin
Touching contaminated objects (drainage)Regular Cleaning and DisinfectingNo evidence that spraying or fogging rooms or surfaces with disinfectant works better than focusing on frequently touched surfacesWash hands: soap and water alcohol-based sanitizersTake showers: immediately after exercise; don’t share items
Use barriers: cover cuts; towels on itemsWash uniform: dry completely in dryer; wash after each use

Recommendations CDC & National Athletic Trainers’ Association
Culture suspicious lesionsNot return to play until:Appropriate antibiotic taken for at least 72 hoursDrainage from wound has stoppedNo new lesions in past 48 hoursCDC: do not exclude unless MD directed…
Sport-specific guidance should be in place Excluded if wounds cannot be properly covered“properly covered” = securely attached bandage/dressing containing all drainage and remain intact during activity No water; whirl pools; therapy pools

chelonae exists in tap water MRSA and “others”… Persistent inflammatory reactionLocated within margins of recent intradermal tattooCause- ? using tap water or distilled water for ink

#8 Atopic Dermatitis
Also known as eczema: “the itch that rashes”Hypersensitivity reaction similar to allergyLong-term swelling and redness (inflammation of skin)May lack certain proteins in the skin which leads to greater sensitivityOften accompanies asthma

HSP Usually Self-LimitingUsually childrenSmall minority of cases can cause severe kidney and bowel disease
Follows URI ~ 10 days following Mean age 5.9 yearsPurpura is due to vasculitis not low platelets (IgA in walls of blood vessels) Steroids ease symptoms and may disrupt abnormal immune response
