Abstract
Erythema toxicum neonatorum is a common finding of unknown etiology af fecting healthy newborn children, particularly those born at term. It is seen in the first days of life, but rarely at birth. Infants with i t often have sterile papulopustules containing a predominance of eosin ophils. It is important to distinguish from other cutaneous eruptions of neonates, some of which are serious.
