Abstract

Infantile acropustulosis (IA) is a well-recognised syndrome described primarily among black male infants, which may also occur among white and East Asian children. The eruption occurs mainly on the distal areas of the extremities and is characterised by recurrent crops of 1 to 2 mm pruritic papules and pustules in infants from 2 to 10 months of age. We report one patient with infantile acropustulosis and a history of atopic dermatitis and abnormally high IgE serum value. Immunofluorescent studies of involved skin gave negative results. Infantile acropustulosis has been reported by several authors within recent years. The clinical and histological features and differential diagnosis of infantile acropustulosis are discussed. This disease is uncommon but not rare, and persists for about two years.

Atopic Dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory genetically determined disease of the skin marked by increased ability to form reagin (IgE), with increased susceptibility to allergic rhinitis and asthma, and hereditary disposition to a lowered threshold for pruritus.
