Abstract
Unilateral laterothoracic exanthem (ULE) developed in a 4-year-old-boy on m aintenance therapy for acute lymphatic leukemia (ALL). This is the second r eported case of an association between ULE and leukemia. The etiology of UL E is unknown. Endemic cases, frequently associated signs of upper respirato ry infections, and the occurrence of ULE in immunocompromised hosts are sug gestive of an infectious process.
