ABSTRACT

Gianotti-Crosti syndrome is a common childhood and self-limited dermatosis that affects children from 6 months to 12 years old, with a peak between the first and sixth years of life. However there are a few reports in adults. It represents a pattern of skin reaction to viruses, bacteria and vaccines. This article analyzes the case of a male patient with papular acrodermatitis of childhood, with an evolution of three weeks. This dermatosis affected the scalp with vesiculo-papular lesions which difficulted the clinical diagnosis, since the differential diagnosis must be done with histiocytosis.
