Gianotti-Crosti Syndrome, Pityriasis Rosea, Asymmetrical Periflexural Exanthem, Unilateral Mediothoracic Exanthem, Eruptive Pseudoangiomatosis and Papular-Purpuric Gloves and Socks Syndrome: A Brief Review and Arguments for Diagnostic Criteria

Abstract: Several exanthems including Gianotti-Crosti syndrome, pityriasis rosea, asymmetrical periflexural exanthem, eruptive pseudoangiomatosis, and papular-purpuric gloves and socks syndrome are suspected to be caused by viruses. These viruses are potentially dangerous. Gianotti-Crosti syndrome is related to hepatitis B virus infection which is the commonest cause of hepatocellular carcinoma, and Epstein-Barr virus infection which is related to nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Pityriasis rosea has been suspected to be relat… Show more

“…The next step would be to evaluate whether diagnostic criteria are already in place, otherwise the existence of multiple diagnostic criteria for one disease would make combining results from multiple clinical studies difficult. 6 It has been proposed that diagnostic criteria exist on a continuum with classification criteria. This is indeed the case for PR, as the diagnostic criteria 2,3 are fully compatible with our proposed clinical classification.…”

“…The power of findings from these studies would then be substantially greater. 6 Moreover, primary care physicians have been reported to significantly underdiagnose PR. Validated diagnostic criteria might assist these medical practitioners as well as specialist trainees in dermatology when they confront patients with marginal clinical manifestations of PR, GCS, and their differential diagnoses.…”

“…The aetiology of pityriasis rosea (PR) is largely unknown (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8). It might be related to primary infections and endogenous reactivations of human herpesviruses (2,3).…”

“…At the current state of knowledge, we believe that PR might be associated with questionable IR only. Should there be further reports, such association might be occasional IR if the pathogen is yet unidentified, or pseudo IR if we finally identify the true culprit(s) in PR, with the latter scenario being highly unlikely at this moment, considering uncertain microbiological aetiology of PR [7].…”
