Abstract

We report the case of miliaria crystallina complicating infectious spondylodiscitis in the lumbar region in a 66-year old woman. The eruption was concomitant with a persistent malignant fever and consisted of diffuse vesicular lesions spread all over the body with regress after resolution of fever.

Keywords: Fever; Infectious spondylodiscitis; Miliaria crystallina; Skin.
