Зображення 00047. Widespread atopic dermatitis with secondary bacterial infection

Bacterial culture does not help much in diagnostics. Staphylococcus aureus grows in 98% of specimens taken from skin with atopic dermatitis. Wrist, palm and plantar skin and male genitalia tell much about the possibility of infestation by Sarcoptes scabiei.
