מה קרה

Israeli dermatologists report a summer increase in impetigo among children, a contagious bacterial skin infection that spreads through contact. Doctors say pools, group activities and scratching help it spread, and recurrent cases may require nasal testing and targeted treatment.

• 01Doctors say impetigo cases are rising with the start of summer and swimming season.
• 02The infection spreads by contact and can recur if treatment is incomplete or resistance develops.
• 03Children with atopic dermatitis are at higher risk, but minor skin injuries also allow infection.
• 04Mild cases use topical antibiotics, while severe cases may need hospitalization and IV treatment.
• 05Nasal swabs can identify carriers and help prevent repeated infections.
