We present a case of nonbullous impetigo neonatorum associated with late onset group B streptococcal meningitis in a 12-day-old infant. Both skin lesions and meningitis resolved with antibiotic therapy.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
I shall discuss only the cases of bullous impetigo in which the bullae were definitely present on the infant at birth and not those in which the bullae developed after delivery.[jamanetwork.com]
The lesions are more common in moist, warm areas such as the axillary folds of the neck or the groin and present as superficial bullae which are wrinkled, become flaccid, and rupture easily producing ulcers which become crusted.[rrnursingschool.biz]

Keywords: Impetigo, NVC-422, Clinical Phase 2, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, MRSA Pub Med Prognosis of Impetigo Because impetigo responds rapidly to antibiotic therapy, the prognosis is excellent although it can reoccur.[lymphedemapeople.com]
Prognosis Generally good. The problem can be self-limiting, but will usually spread and persist on the skin if left untreated, which will represent a source of infection for others.[nursinginpractice.com]
Prognosis Complete resolution in 7–10 days with treatment Antibiotic treatment will not prevent or halt glomerulonephritis, as it will rheumatic fever. If not clear within 7–10 days, culture is necessary to find resistant organism.[tipsdiscover.com]

Presently, there are several unproven etiological hypotheses, including skin reaction to absorbed enterotoxines, hence the name “toxicum,” an allergic reaction due to eosinophilia in the lesions (and in the peripheral blood of some patients); however,[healthzene.com]
