Apart from gastroenteritis, rotavirus has been rarely implicated with some cutaneous disorders such as generalized maculopapular exanthema, infantile acute hemorrhagic edema and Gianotti-Crosti syndrome. We report a 30-month old toddler boy who developed erythematous macular skin eruptions during the course of rotavirus gastroenteritis. To our knowledge, this is the first case in the literature reporting rotavirusrelated macular erythematous lesions in a pediatric patient. We therefore would like to share our experience, to keep rotavirus infection in the differential diagnosis of children with gastroenteritis and erythematous eruption.
