Abstract

This manuscript reviews important advances in our understanding of severe eruptions and cutaneous adverse reactions in children. The latest research provides significant insights regarding severe cutaneous eruptions including coxsackievirus eruptions, mycoplasma-induced rash and mucositis, urticaria multiforme, erythema multiforme, and severe cutaneous adverse reactions. Recent literature expands our understanding of the incidence and cost, pathophysiology, and management considerations for pediatric patients with Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis. Pediatric inpatient cutaneous eruptions, from infectious and inflammatory to adverse reactions are very burdensome diseases. It is important to recognize salient features to initiate appropriate workup and management, particularly for patients with severe cutaneous adverse reactions for which early recognition of complications of disease and consultation with colleagues may minimize sequelae.
