Following a febrile illness with nasal discharge and vomiting a 1.5-year-old girl developed monomorphous erythematous papular lesions on the face, buttocks and extremities. A diagnosis of Gianotti-Crosti syndrome on the basis of an Epstein-Barr virus infection was made. The patient recovered in eight weeks without treatment. In the Netherlands the originally described relationship with a hepatitis B infection is very improbable in patients with the Gianotti-Crosti syndrome. Other viral agents like Epstein-Barr virus are much more likely.
