Article Synopsis
- - An atypical exanthem (AE) is a unique skin rash that differs from typical rashes and often requires urgent medical attention, primarily caused by viral infections.
- - A study examined nine adult patients with AEs linked to active HHV-7 (Human herpesvirus 7) replication, revealing a distinct maculopapular rash pattern, often without fever or significant inflammation.
- - Treatment included antihistamines and corticosteroids, resulting in effective symptom relief, suggesting that skin manifestations associated with HHV-7 should be recognized as a form of atypical exanthems, particularly when appearing on acral regions.
Transient myeloproliferative disorder (TMD) is a spontaneously resolving clonal myeloid proliferation characterized by circulating megakaryoblasts in the peripheral blood that is restricted to neonates with Down syndrome (DS) or those with trisomy 21 mosaicism. Cutaneous manifestations of TMD are observed in only 5% of affected neonates and present as a diffuse eruption of erythematous, crusted papules, papulovesicles, and pustules, often with prominent and initial facial involvement. We describe the case of a male infant with DS and TMD, associated with a vesiculopustular eruption, which appeared on day 36 of life, and review previous cases.
