title: Acropustulosis of infancy.
abstract: Acropustulosis of infancy is a syndrome characterized by recurrent pruritic acral vesicopustules. It occurs primarily in black male infants and hitherto has been described mainly in the North American literature. We describe four cases seen in London. This entity, therefore, should be recognized in the U.K., particularly in the differential diagnosis of infantile scabies.
