          Abstract

          Unilateral laterothoracic exanthema (ULE) is a benign self‐limited condition that spontaneously resolves in a few weeks. Occurring mostly in childhood, although few rare cases in adults have been also reported. Diagnosis of ULE is clinical, and laboratory investigations are not required.

          Superimposed lateralized exanthem of childhood: report of a case related to adenovirus infection.

          A 6-year-old boy developed a unilateral itchy rash, which was followed by a less severe bilateral involvement. The lesions resolved spontaneously within 4 weeks. Apparently, the rash was triggered by an adenovirus infection of the respiratory tract. Terms used currently for this disorder include 'unilateral laterothoracic exanthem' or 'asymmetrical periflexural exanthem of childhood'. The recently proposed term 'superimposed lateralized exanthem of childhood' implies the new concept that an early postzygotic mutation has rendered the skin on one side of the body more reactive to infective agents. The subsequent bilateral involvement would reflect a less severe reactivity of the contralateral keratinocytes.

            Unilateral laterothoracic exanthem and primary Epstein-Barr virus infection: case report.

            Unilateral laterothoracic exanthem is a self-limited disease that occurs most commonly in children. It is characterized by unilateral exanthem, often in axillary region. The etiology is unknown, but a viral agent is suspected. We report a 1-year-old white girl with unilateral laterothoracic exanthem associated with Epstein Barr virus infection, suggesting this virus has a possible etiologic role.
