title: Successful therapy of cyclosporin A in pityriasis lichenoides et varioliformis acuta preceded by hand, foot and mouth disease.
abstract: To our knowledge, there are no previously published cases of enteroviral infection complicated by pityriasis lichenoides et varioliformis acuta (PLEVA). A 30-year-old woman is reported with a severe form of PLEVA, preceded by hand, foot and mouth disease. Immunosuppressive treatment with cyclosporin A resulted in rapid clinical improvement.
