A 13-month-old boy was hospitalized in our ward with the presence of erythematous-purpuric lesions, roundish in shape, not itchy, 1/2 to 6-7 cm in diameter, localized on the face, ears and lower limbs (Fig. 1a, b). His history revealed that the eruption developed suddenly the previous week and was not followed by infection of the upper respiratory tract or by the use of any drug. During hospitalization, a mild fever and diarrhea appeared. The overall general condition was good.
