Article Abstract

Asymmetric peri-flexural exanthem of childhood is a "new" disease, which has never been reported by Danish authors. It is characterized by an asymmetric maculopapular exanthem in early childhood. The exanthem is initially unilateral and localised close to the axilla, but it spreads centrifugally during the first week, becomes more widespread and resolves spontaneously within four to six weeks. We describe two cases of this entity.
