AB Figure  3-1Impetigo  Impetigo  is  a  primary  superficial  infection  of  the  skin.  It  is  more  prevalent  in  humid  climates  and  occurs  most  commonly  in  the  summer  months.  Trauma  to  the  skin,  such  as  a  small  abrasion  or  insect  bite,  sometimes  provides  the  site  of  entry  for  the  infective  bacteria.  The  lesions  evolve  from  discrete  small  vesicles  into  pustules.  The  fluid  content  of  the  primary  lesions  dries  into  a  thick  yellowish  crust  (Fig.  3-1),  and  removal  of  the  crust  may  reveal  bright-red  and  shiny  erosions  (Fig.  3-2).Graphic  Jump  LocationView  Full  Size||Download  Slide  (.ppt)
