Impetigo is a common infection of the superficial layers of the epidermis which is highly contagious, commonly caused by Staphylococcus aureus or Strep. pyogenes. The prevalence is highest among the little children attending daycare centers, the peak incidence is during summer and fall. Treatment of non-complicated infections involves topical antibiotics, in cases of systemic signs of infection, systemic oral antibiotic treatment is used. Impetigo is often self-limiting and resolves without scarring, the most common complication, especially during summer, is hyperpigmentation of the skin.

Keywords: methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, impetigo, antibiotic therapy.
