Viralexanthemsin childhood are a frequent consultation both outpatient and in emergency services. They are usually self-limited and can be difficult to diagnose. It’s important to recognize and differentiate them from other severe diseases that require immediate treatment.

GianottiCrosti syndrome, also known as papularacrodermatitis of childhood, is an infrequent exanthema secondary to the host's immune response to infections, especially viral, or vaccines. The first association described was with hepatitis B virus infection, however, with the introduction of the vaccine against this virus,the incidence of other viruses related to this syndrome has increased. We present the case of a 4-year-old patient with a clinical diagnosis of GianottiCrosti syndrome.
