Ritter's disease is now called ''Staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome''' (SSSS). It is caused by infection with ''Staphylococcus aureus'' bacteria. The infection causes large sections of skin to peel away as occurs after burns. Annuziato & Goldblum (1978) reported three cases of SSSS, which started with infected circumcision wounds. [[Death]] occurred with one case but the other two recovered.<ref name="annunziato1978">{{REFjournal
