Streptodermia - disease of infectious and allergic origin. It appears when the streptococcal pathogen and its livestock products penetrate the skin through the wound and abrasions that are on it. In addition, streptodermia can be quickly infected if closely communicate with a sick person. It is very difficult to defeat the disease attacked the body of a newborn man, in children older, the process of treatment of streptodermia also takes quite a long time. Adults people meet with this skin ailment much less often, due to the fact that their immunity is tempered enough to reflect the attack on the body of the pathogeful pest.
Causes of streptodermia
The probability of the appearance of the disease is primarily due to the impaired skin integrity - in order for streptococcal microorganism to fall into the body of sufficiently insignificant fraud or micropores. Another equally important factor is the violation of local immunity (skin immunity immunity) and reducing the activity of the immune system as a whole.
Streptodermia are mainly prone to children - it is in the children's team (nursery and gardens, schools, children's «Circles» For interests) epidemic outbreaks of disease are most often observed. An infected child at the same time can infect his adult relative with whom closely communicates.
You can highlight several main reasons that increase the chances of each of us «patch» Cooked infection:
- Violation of personal hygiene rules.

In winter, there is a seasonal incidence of streptodermia, which keeps up with numerical cases of angina and Scarlay. There is nothing surprising here, because Streptococcus is the causative agent of all diseases.
Symptoms «Children's» Streptodermia
Streptodermia is difficult to distinguish from urticaria, Atopic dermatitis, Founded deprived, pyodermia and eczema, so the dermatologist asks the patient very detail before putting the final diagnosis.
In the size of the inflammatory hearth and its location, several clinical forms of disease are distinguished.
Streptococcal impetigo It looks like single flushes, which accumulate on the skin of the face, torso, hands and legs, sometimes merging into one big spot. The basal layer of skin is affected, after breaking the bubbles in their place, thin crusts of the gray shade are formed. When the crusts disappear, after them there are bluish-pink spots.
