چکیده
A 20-day-old girl was referred to our department for cutaneous lesions that appeared 1 week earlier and were not associated with any other symptoms (Figures 1 and 2).

As relevant family history, the mother was currently being assessed for joint pain and leukopenia that had appeared during the pregnancy.
