Pediatr Dermatol. 2004 Nov-Dec;21(6):667-9. doi: 10.1111/j.1525-1470.2004.21612.x.

Abstract

Generalized bullous impetigo is uncommon in healthy and term neonates. It must be differentiated from staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome and other commonly encountered vesiculopustular lesions. We report generalized bullous impetigo in an otherwise healthy neonate.
