-Abstract-
Patient with Gianotti-Crosti Syndrome (GCS) presents with a distinctive self-limiting
acral papular or papulovesicular eruption. Patient with GCS is associated with an
underlying viral and bacterial illness. GCS is a self-limiting cutaneuous response to
different infections. Its clinical differences are probably due to individual characteristics
of each patient rather than the causative infections agents. CGS in patients infected with
hepatitis A virus has not been reported previously in Korea, We report a case of
16-year-old girl who developed an erythematous papular eruption on her extremities a
week after an epidemic of hepatitis A. The patient had the characteristics which
resembled clinical and histopathologic findings of GCS. Hepatitis A virus RNA was
detected by nested reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction of tissue from lesion
site of the patient.
