title: Vesicles and pustules in the neonate.
abstract: Vesicles and pustules in the neonate can be due to common or life threatening conditions. Recognizing key clinical features and understanding when and how to workup the various different vesiculopustular eruptions that occur in the neonatal period is vital. A rapid diagnosis of an infectious cause of a neonatal vesiculopustular eruption can be life-saving.
