Abstract

We report a case of unusual presentation of a viral exanthem in a 17-month-old girl. The child had signs of Gianotti-Crosti syndrome (GCS)--the long-lasting papular eruption on her extremities and face with non-typical for GCS rash extension to the trunk, enlarged posterior cervical and submandibular lymph nodes, and anicteric hepatitis. Serum polymerase chain reaction (PCR) detected human herpesvirus type 6 (HHV-6) in accord with the exanthem in this child.
