CASE REPORT: PAPULAR ACRODERMATOSIS OF CHILD, OR GIANOTTI-CROSTI SYNDROME

Abstract

Gianotti-Crosti syndrome is a benign skin disorder, predominantly occurring in children, characterized by a symmetrical papular or papulovesicular rash localized on the face, extremities, and buttocks caused by a viral infection or hypersensitivity. We report a case of 18-month-old male child presenting with GCS with typical manifestations of this syndrome. The report offers a detailed chronology of the disease course, including the onset, evolution, and resolution of symptoms. We describe in detail the course of the disease, diagnostic signs and approach to patient management, emphasizing the importance of differential diagnosis in pediatric practice and highlighting the self-limiting nature of the syndrome.
