Background: Eruptive pseudo-angiomatosis is a benign, acute dermatosis, mostly associated with a viral infection. Skin lesions consist of angioma-like papules, scattered over the skin. Involution is usually spontaneous and swift.
Case-report: We report a case of eruptive pseudo-angiomatosis, which occurred in an immunocompetent 18 year-old adult together with acute gastroenteritis and enterovirus seroconversion.
Discussion: Eruptive pseudo-angiomatosis was described for the first time in 1969 in 4 children and then several pediatric cases were reported. Recently, 9 eruptive pseudo-angiomatosis in adults have been described. Our case had some particularities: it occurred in an immunocompetent adult and the skin lesions were angioma-like.

Article Synopsis
- The text discusses various skin rashes linked to viral infections, highlighting notable syndromes like pityriasis rosea (PR), Gianotti-Crosti syndrome (GCS), and others, including a newly identified rash called eruptive hypomelanosis (EH).
- A systematic review of studies over the last 60 years was conducted to analyze epidemiological data and assess whether these rashes are caused by infectious agents, leading to the selection of numerous relevant articles.
- The findings suggest moderate support for PR, GCS, and asymmetric periflexural exanthem (APE) being linked to infectious causes, while the evidence for the other conditions, including EH, is considered inadequate, indicating potential for future research.

Background: Eruptive pseudo-angiomatosis (EPA) is a rare, relatively newly described cutaneous disorder characterized by the sudden onset of several bright red, angioma-like papules surrounded by blanched halo. Its aetiology is unknown; however, viral infection or mosquito bites have been speculated as possible causes.
Objective: This study aims to determine the clinical and histopathological features of EPA, and whether it is associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection.

The childhood exanthems include a spectrum of common and uncommon disorders caused by a variety of pathogens. In this article, timely issues relating to immunization for measles and varicella are discussed. Recently reported exanthematous illnesses, including papular-purpuric gloves and socks syndrome, unilateral laterothoracic exanthem, and eruptive pseudo-angiomatosis, are described.
