Cutaneous microbiol flora in 206 children with diaper dermatitis and pyodermitis]

Staphylococcus aureus (60 p. 100) and Candida albicans (50 p. 100) were mostly found in 73 cases of diaper dermatitis. They were present together in 16 out of these 73 cases. This study enables us to think this is a matter of opportunistic infection. Staphylococcus aureus (75 p. 100) and beta-hémol. Streptococcus A (28 p. 100) were found in 40 children with impetigo contagiosa. They were present together in 7 out of the 40 cases. Nephritis was never found either in those cases or in other 93 cases of pyodermitis.
