Exantema Macular En Un Niño Con Gastroenteritis Por Rotavirus. Informe De Caso Macular Exanthema in a Child with Rotavirus Gastroenteritis: A Case Report

Apart from gastroenteritis, rotavirus has been rarely implicated with some cutaneous disorders such as generalized maculopapular exanthema, infantile acute hemorrhagic edema and Gianotti-Crosti syndrome. We report a 30-month old toddler boy who developed erythematous macular skin eruptions during the course of rotavirus gastroenteritis. To our knowledge, this is the first case in the literature to report rotavirus-related macular erythematous lesions in a pediatric patient. We therefore would like to share our experience, to keep rotavirus infection in the differential diagnosis of children with gastroenteritis and erythematous eruption.
