Many clinical and laboratory-based studies have been reported for skin rashes which may be due to viral infections, namely pityriasis rosea (PR), Gianotti-Crosti syndrome (GCS), asymmetric periflexural exanthem/unilateral laterothoracic exanthem (APE/ULE), papular-purpuric gloves and socks syndrome (PPGSS), and eruptive pseudo-angiomatosis (EP). Eruptive hypomelanosis (EH) is a newly discovered paraviral rash. Novel tools are now available to investigate the epidemiology of these rashes. To retrieve epidemiological data of these exanthema and analyze whether such substantiates or refutes infectious etiologies. We searched for articles published over the last 60 years and indexed by PubMed database. We then analyzed them for universality, demography, concurrent patients, temporal and spatial-temporal clustering, mini-epidemics, epidemics, and other clinical and geographical associations. Based on our criteria, we selected 55, 60, 29, 36, 20, and 4 articles for PR, GCS, APE/ULE, PPGSS, EP, and EH respectively. Universality or multiple-continental reports are found for all exanthema except EH. The ages of patients are compatible with infectious causes for PR, GCS, APE/ULE, and EH. Concurrent patients are reported for all. Significant patient clustering is demonstrated for PR and GCS. Mini-epidemics and epidemics have been reported for GCS, EP, and EH. The current epidemiological data supports, to a moderate extent, that PR, GCS, and APE could be caused by infectious agents. Support for PPGSS is marginal. Epidemiological evidences for infectious origins for EP and EH are inadequate. There might be growing epidemiological evidence to substantiate or to refute our findings in the future.

“…The hypothesis of the viral cause depends, in most cases, on the presence of prodromal symptoms, spontaneous resolution, the appearance of more than one case within the family, and the recurrence of the disease [7,12,19]. The outbreak occurrence of EPA in European countries [20,21] potentiates this opinion. Other causes that may initiate the illness are arthropod insults such as insects and fleas bite, particularly when the exposed sites are affected [11].…”

Background: Eruptive pseudoangiomatosis is an acute-onset illness presenting with a characteristic rash mainly on the exposed parts of the body. It is mostly symptomless and resolves spontaneously without sequels. Numerous agents are suspected to trigger the disease. Materials and Methods: Forty-five patients affected with eruptive pseudoangiomatosis were examined at the Dermatology and Venereology Department of Al-Ramadi Teaching Hospital during the period from January 1, 2018, to January 1, 2020. History taking and physical examination in addition to laboratory investigations were done for all patients. Results: Forty-five patients, 27 females and 18 males, were examined. Their mean age was fifteen years and the female-to-male ratio was 1.5:1. The younger age group was the most involved and a family history was detected in 5%. Prodromal symptoms were found in 63.8% and pruritus was a complaint in 35.5% of the patients. The extremities and face were the most affected and the disease was more common during the spring season. Conclusion: Eruptive pseudoangiomatosis is a spontaneously-resolving illness without complications, yet one must be aware of it and keep it in mind when facing a viral rash to avoid unnecessary investigations and treatments and to provide reassurance to the patient and their family. Key words: angioma; pseudoangioma; viral infection; pruritus; URTI
