title: [Transient pustular eruption in neonates].
abstract: Transient neonatal pustular melanosis is a common, benign, but little known dermatosis in newborns. Diagnosis of transient neonatal pustular melanosis is made clinically, by the presence of vesiculopustular and pigmented macular skin lesions. This benign spontaneously regressive dermatosis should be distinguished from several serious infectious neonatal diseases. We report a case of transient neonatal pustular melanosis and discuss the nosologic problems and differential diagnosis of this entity.
