Abstract
Fifteen of twenty-two children with pityriasis lichenoides were treated with oral erythromycin. Eleven (73%) had a remission, usually within 2 months. Two others showed partial improvement, and two were unimproved. Seven of the children who experienced a remission were off erythromycin and free of lesions after 2 to 5 months of therapy. A trial of erythromycin as described herein should be considered in children with pityriasis lichenoides before other, possibly more toxic, measures are instituted.Entities:
