Ring-shaped erythema and herpetic infections in children

Exanthema in children accompanies various diseases. Often, polymorphic elements on the skin occur against the background of infectious diseases. Until the second part of the XXth century, children’s classical infectology described only 6 diseases in children characterized by spotty and maculopapular rash. Now there are more than two dozen exanthemes in children with an “infectious origin”. The article considers 2 clinical cases of a relatively rare annular erythema in patients of 1 year 2 months and 11 months associated with chronic herpetic infections. The article presents photo documents of the dynamics of the skin process and laboratory parameters against the background of antiviral therapy.
