Abstract

ZULFIKAR AKELMA, Ahmet et al. Macular exanthema in a child with rotavirus gastroenteritis: a case report. Arch. argent. pediatr. [online]. 2014, vol.112, n.2, pp.e53-e56. ISSN 0325-0075.  http://dx.doi.org/10.5546/aap.2014.e53.

Apart from gastroenteritis, rotavirus has been rarely implicated with some cutaneous disorders such as generalized maculo-papular exanthema, infantile acute hemorrhagic edema and Gianotti-Crosti syndrome. We report a 30-month old toddler boy who developed erythematous macular skin eruptions during the course of rotavirus gastroenteritis. To our knowledge, this is the first case in the literature reporting rotavirus-related macular erythematous lesions in a pediatric patient. We therefore would like to share our experience, to keep ro-tavirus infection in the differential diagnosis of children with gastroenteritis and erythematous eruption.

Keywords : Rotavirus; Gastroenteritis; Child; Erythema.
