Abstract EN
Staphylococcal infection in terms of fetus is rare and is associated with either maternal staphylococcal sepsis or colonization that leads to vertical transmission.
Antenatal invasive procedures are a recognized risk factor.
Most reported newborns with fetal-onset staphylococcal infections have had a worse outcome.
We report the story of two newborns who had pustular-bullous skin lesions at birth and responded successfully to antistaphylococcal antibiotics.
Both neonates made complete recovery.
It is important to suspect clinically the staphylococcal infections when bullous skin lesions are present in the newborn.
