Papular acrodermatitis of childhood (Gianotti-Crosti syndrome) is a benign, self-limiting rash that occurs in childhood. It exhibits a distinct acral distribution, comprising monomorphic skin-colored to pink-red papules primarily found on the face, buttocks, and extremities’ extensor surfaces. The condition is associated with multiple viral illnesses, including Epstein-Barr virus, cytomegalovirus, coxsackievirus, adenovirus, influenza, enteroviruses, echovirus, hepatitis A virus, herpes simplex viruses, human herpesvirus 6, HIV, mumps, parainfluenza virus, parvovirus B19, poxviruses, respiratory syncytial virus, and rotavirus. Additionally, it has been reported after vaccination, including influenza, Calmette-Guerin bacillus, diphtheria-pertussis-tetanus, poliomyelitis, hepatitis B, Japanese encephalitis, and measles vaccines. In the United States, the Epstein-Barr virus is the most commonly reported cause of papular acrodermatitis of childhood; however, in many cases, no infectious trigger is identified.This activity reviews the evaluation and management of papular acrodermatitis of childhood, as well as its diverse viral associations and potential correlation with vaccinations. Learners will explore the syndrome’s evolving etiology and engage with current evidence-based practices for diagnosing it, focusing on the distinguishing features of the rash and its associated systemic symptoms. Additionally, the session highlights the self-resolving nature of the rash and the role of the interprofessional team in treating patients with this condition.
