Overview

In 1863, R. W. Dunn of Porrigo described the lesions of impetigo as dirty, flat, irregular spots that are straw coloured.[1] In 1880, Alexander Ogston for the first time wrote about the involvement of Staphylococci in skin infections. The first epidemic in the nurseries was reported in 1989.[2]
