Pediatr Dermatol. 2018 Jul;35(4):e239-e240. doi: 10.1111/pde.13519. Epub 2018 May 16.

Abstract

Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a common exanthem linked to infection with several non-polio enteroviruses. This case of an 11-year-old boy with an enteroviral infection limited to areas of sunburn is an atypical presentation of hand, foot, and mouth disease. Recognition of this unusual distribution will allow pediatricians and pediatric dermatologists to appropriately manage and counsel patients and parents.

Keywords: eczema; exanthem; infection-viral.
