Abstract
We report on a 20-month-old girl with urticarial and partially annular skin lesions that were disseminated over the whole integument. The lesions persisted over 1 week and then gradually faded and reappeared on new body sites. The histological examination of a skin biopsy revealed an urticarial inflammation pattern with interstitial edema and a diffuse infiltration with many eosinophilic granulocytes without flame figures, neutrophils and lymphocytes. Laboratory investigations were inconspicuous and there was no eosinophilia. A diagnosis of eosinophilic annular erythema (EAE) of childhood was made which is a benign self-limiting skin disorder belonging to the group of eosinophilic dermatoses.Entities:
