  • Title: [Infantile acropustulosis].
    Author: Mazereeuw-Hautier J.
    Journal: Presse Med; 2004 Nov 06; 33(19 Pt 1):1352-4. PubMed ID: 15615244.
    Abstract:
    FROM A CLINICAL POINT OF VIEW: Infantile acropustulosis is a rare and little known dermatosis affecting young children. Clinically, it consists of prurigenous vesiculo-pustular lesions characteristically localised on the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet. NO CONFUSION SHOULD EXIST: The principle differential diagnosis is scabies. The other differential diagnosis is neonatal pustulosis. A CONTROVERSIAL HYPOTHESIS: The aetiopathogenesis is unknown, but some cases of infantile acropustulosis set-in in the course of a genuine scabies, which might suggest a hypersensitivity reaction to Sarcoptes scabiei. It is a benign affection, progressing in flares, occasionally provoking severe pruritus. Treatments are disappointing, and the disease heals spontaneously after a few years.
