Abstract:
Pityriasis rosea (PR) is an exanthematous disease associated with the endogenous systemic reactivation of human herpesvirus (HHV)-6 and/or HHV-7. Variants of PR characterized by atypical lesion morphology, eruption course, and severe symptoms have already been described, but their prevalence is probably underestimated. We report herein two patients suffering from anorexia nervosa (AN) who developed a very rare form of purpuric PR. So far, no cases of PR in AN patients have been reported in the literature.
