Article Synopsis
- The asymmetric periflexural exanthema of childhood is a rare skin condition primarily affecting girls around the age of two, characterized by one-sided eruptions that resolve on their own.
- The condition presents as a papular rash that starts near an axilla or extremity and spreads to the corresponding side of the body without other symptoms.
- Two cases were reported, both involving young girls who experienced these distinctive rashes and were diagnosed accordingly, with treatments focusing on symptom relief and observing the condition's natural resolution.

Pityriasis Rosea, Gianotti-Crosti Syndrome, Asymmetric Periflexural Exanthem, Papular-Purpuric Gloves and Socks Syndrome, Eruptive Pseudoangiomatosis, and Eruptive Hypomelanosis: Do Their Epidemiological Data Substantiate Infectious Etiologies?

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.
Superimposed lateralized exanthem of childhood: report of a case related to adenovirus infection.

Department of Dermatology and Allergology, Ludwig-Maximilian University, Munich, Germany; Landeshauptstadt München, Referat für Gesundheit und Umwelt, Munich, Germany.
Article Synopsis
- A 6-year-old boy experienced an itchy rash that started on one side of his body before spreading to both sides, but it healed on its own within four weeks.
- The rash was linked to a respiratory adenovirus infection, and it has several names, including 'unilateral laterothoracic exanthem' and 'asymmetrical periflexural exanthem of childhood.'
- A new term, 'superimposed lateralized exanthem of childhood,' suggests that a genetic mutation may make one side of the skin more sensitive to infections, leading to the initial unilateral rash and a milder response on the other side.

- - The main goal of treatment is to relieve itching associated with the rash.

Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to investigate potential causes of asymmetrical periflexural exanthem of childhood (APEC) by examining various microbiological agents through a case-control approach.
- Researchers analyzed samples from 37 children with APEC and 37 age-matched controls but found no significant differences in the presence of viruses or bacteria between the two groups.
- The results suggested that APEC is not triggered by common microbiological agents, indicating the need for more advanced methods to explore its underlying causes.

- Conditions like unilateral laterothoracic exanthem and asymmetric periflexural exanthem might be variations of the same illness, possibly linked to different infections.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers studied 187 children (111 girls, 76 boys) over four years who presented with a unique skin rash during winter and spring.
- The rash started on the trunk or limb flexures, spreading outward over two to four weeks, and eventually faded with minor itching and skin peeling.
- Virology tests in 34 cases found a slight link between viral infections (like parainfluenza and adenovirus) and skin symptoms, suggesting the two may be unrelated.

Article Synopsis
- A newly identified skin rash in infants appears as an eczematous or scarlet-fever-like eruption, starting from one armpit and spreading outward on the same side of the body.
- It can be slightly itchy and sometimes comes with swollen lymph nodes nearby, although lesions are rarely found on the opposite side.
- The rash tends to occur in small outbreaks, suggesting that a viral infection may be responsible, and the authors report two additional cases, indicating that this condition is more common than previously thought.
