Abstract

Infectious Diseases Life Sciences & Biomedicine Pharmacology & Pharmacy Science & Technology Virology
To our knowledge, there are no previously published cases of enteroviral infection complicated by pityriasis lichenoides et varioliformis acuta (PLEVA). A 30-year-old woman is reported with a severe form of PLEVA, preceded by hand, foot and mouth disease. Immunosuppressive treatment with cyclosporin A resulted in rapid clinical improvement.
