Abstract

Papular acrodermatitis of childhood is considered a paraviral dermatosis due to various infections and vaccines. The diagnosis is based on clinical features and treatment is symptomatic. The prognosis is excellent, because the syndrome is self-limited. We describe the case of a boy who presented a papular acrodermatitis of childhood after an Epstein-Barr virus infection.
