Abstract
Annular erythemas in infancy are uncommon to rare in occurreance. Erythema migrans is the most common variety to be reported amidst the younger age group. This group of conditions poses a diagnostic challenge to the physician as the differentials can range from a benign annular erythema of infancy with good prognosis and no long-term defects to neonatal lupus erythematosus (NLE) having a bad prognosis with increased morbidity and mortality. We report a case of annular erythema of infancy in a 5 day old male infant to emphasize that in spite of the history of spontaneous abortions in the mother, which pointed towards a more grave diagnosis of NLE, benign conditions like annular erythema of infancy needs to be kept in mind.
