Síndrome de Gianotti-Crosti: reporte de un caso clínico

Abstract

Gianotti-Crosti syndrome is a rare, benign, and self-limiting exanthem frequently seen in children under six years old. The objective of this study is to describe an unusual case in a pediatric patient. A 16-year-old adolescent presented with multiple acral, papulovesicular, erythematous, and pruritic lesions, with no other symptoms. Laboratory tests suggested an uncomplicated viral etiology, supporting the clinical diagnosis. Treatment included loratadine 10 mg/day and a moisturizing cream. Recognizing this disease is important, as it is often misdiagnosed and improperly treated.
