Abstract

Multiple neonatal staphylococcal cold abscesses in large skin folds (MNSCA) is a benign infection in newborns. It is characterised by abscess formation in large skin folds with mild local signs of inflammation but no systemic symptoms. Diagnosis is based on clinical presentation and culture of Staphylococcus aureus. In this case report, a 9-day-old girl with MNSCA is presented. MNSCA has an excellent prognosis, with or without treatment. Recognising this condition can prevent unnecessary diagnostic work-ups and antibiotic use.
