Zusammenfassung

Wir berichten über ein 2 Tage altes, neugeborenes Mädchen mit herpetiform angeordneten Pusteln in disseminierter Verteilung. Es wird die Wichtigkeit einer ausführlichen Diagnostik bei Neugeborenen mit pustulösen Hautveränderungen herausgestellt, um die Differenzialdiagnosen Incontinentia pigmenti und einer kongenitalen Herpesinfektion abzugrenzen.

Abstract

In this article we present the case of a 2-day-old newborn girl in good general condition, with herpetic arranged pustules on the skin of her whole body. The case highlights the importance of a detailed diagnostic workup for newborns with pustular skin disease. Especially to differentiate between the diagnosis of incontinentia pigmenti and a congenital herpes infection.
