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 scabiei.
