A boy with a one-sided red rash

Abstract

We report on a boy with a sudden onset of unilateral skin lesions following tonsillar infection with fever 2 weeks before. The lesions consisted of erythematous macules with scaling affecting trunk, axillar, as well as inguinal region. CRP, blood differential, serum IgG and IgM antibodies (coxsackievirus, cytomegalovirus, parvovirus, herpes virus, varicella zoster virus, human herpesvirus-6/-7), and lesional swabs (bacteria, dermatophytes, yeasts) were uneventful.

Experience With Molluscum Contagiosum and Associated Inflammatory Reactions in a Pediatric Dermatology Practice

“…[7][8][9] Gianotti-Crosti syndrome-like reactions (GCLRs) have also been reported in a few patients with MC. [10][11][12][13] Although inflammatory reactions are well-recognized manifestations of MC infection, there are a paucity of published data on their frequency, epidemiol-ogy, clinical spectrum, and prognostic significance. Furthermore, the effects of previous and concurrent atopic dermatitis (AD) on the incidence, spread, and response to treatment of MC have varied in different studies.…”
