Pityriasis rosea (PR) is a common erythemato-squamous dermatosis which almost always, is easily diagnosed. Mostly the disease presents in its classical form. However, clinical dermatology is all about variations and PR is not an exception. Variants of the disease in some cases may be troublesome to diagnose and confuse clinicians. Prompt diagnosis and treatment of the condition becomes necessary to avoid unnecessary investigations. We hereby review and illustrate atypical presentations of the disease, including diverse forms of location and morphology of the lesions, the course of the eruption, and its differential diagnoses.

“…Very few reports specify cutaneous manifestations; skin findings can take the form of purpuric patches, pityriasis rosealike eruption, or a morbilliform eruption, as in our patient. 4 , 5 Clinical recognition of BCG infection is challenging, but this entity should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients with a recent exposure to BCG and an unexplained, rapid-onset, widespread skin eruption. Because BCG reactivation can be fatal, providers must have a low threshold to begin antituberculous therapy.…”

“…Possible triggers for PR or PR-like rash include insect bites, viral infections (including SARS-CoV-2) [10] and many different drugs [9]. Interestingly, vaccinations have been reported to be an important triggering factor, and a PR-like rash has been reported after influenza, hepatitis B, smallpox, Bacillus Calmette-Guerin, diphtheria, and pneumococcus vaccines [11][12][13]. It was postulated that immune stimulation caused by the vaccine led to HHV reactivation, resulting in PR [4,13,14].…”
