[The Gianotti-Crosti syndrome]

We present the case of a one-year-old girl with Gianotti-Crosti syndrome not associated with hepatitis-B infection. The authors carried out an extensive review of the literature about this problem and they found that it is not uncommon to see this eruption in relation with many different viral and non-viral infections. All these findings support the concept that this is actually a syndrome and not a specific disease.
