| Abstract: | The group of the non‐classic infectious exanthems are mostly maculopapular or vesicular. The latter changes are typical for infections with varicella‐zoster virus and Coxsackie viruses. Congenital cytomegalovirus infections are characterized by petechiae and purpura, while the papular‐purpuric gloves and socks syndrome is usually associated with parvovirus B19. Aside from these, the non‐classic infectious exanthems diseases include nonspecific exanthems coupled with respiratory and enteric infections. |
