Abstract

Abstract: Infantile acropustulosis is a recurrent, pruriginous, vesiculopustular eruption of the palms and soles first described in 1979. We report six cases of infantile acropustulosis in recently emigrated children treated for scabies. Clinical follow‐up was obtained by questionnaire addressed to patients'families and general practitioners. Our study suggests infantile acropustulosis is frequent in immigrant infants and could be a non‐specific hypersensitivity reaction to Sarcoptes scablel. Copyright © 1995, Wiley Blackwell.
