Definition Causes and symptoms Diagnosis Treatment Prognosis Prevention Resources |
Most patients heal from SSSS within about 10–14 days. Healing occurs without scarring in the majority of patients. Death may occur if severe dehydration or sepsis complicate the illness. About 3% of children die of these complications; about 50% of immunocompromised adults die of these complications.
