    Abstract

    Impetigo is a common skin infection in children. If not treated promptly, it can spread rapidly through a student population and become a significant health problem. Whereas uncomplicated, localized lesions typically are treated with topical mupirocin, widespread infections involving multiple pathogens require systemic treatment with a cephalosporin or a beta-lactamase-resistant antibiotic.
