Abstract

Summary Pityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP) is an uncommon papulosquamous skin disease which has an often chronic course. The aetiology of PRP has not been definitely established. PRP is a dermatosis with marked clinical similarities to psoriasis. Both share an increase epidermal proliferation and some therapeutic aspects. A 5-year-old girl is presented with the clinical and histological features of acute PRP after an airway infection. She was treated with calcipotriol ointment applied twice daily. Improvement was noted within fifteen days, and almost complete clearing occurred after 2 months for therapy. No side-effects were noted.
