Abstract
The paper describes a new entity, the
Asymmetric Periflexural Exanthem of Childhood
(APEC), first described in 1962 and
recently recognized as a separate clinical
entity by many Authors. It is characterized
by scarlatiniform or papular rash which develops
usually from a periflexural (axillary
or inguinal) area to the thoracic area but
with a clear monolateral preference. Respiratory
or gastrointestinal symptoms may
accompany the eruption. Occasionally moderate
pruritus and regional lymphoadenopathy
are present. The course is self-limited.
This entity is believed to be caused by a virus
but no single agent has been identified
as a causal agent sofar. The Authors observed
4 cases of APEC over a period of four
months in 18 to 24-month old children. It is
probable that APEC can be diagnosed more
often if increased attention is payed by
paediatricians.
