A member asked:

7 month old baby had high fever/wbc. diagnosed with uti from ecoli.a few days after treatment,some of his fingers started peeling a bit. cause?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hard to say: Sometimes bacteria can produce toxins that cause skin peeling but E coli is unlikely to do so. Also some antibiotics can cause skin rashes so it is possible it is the treatment. Or it could be completely unrelated and a completely different problem. If it does not improve, discuss with the baby's pediatrician.
