Gianotti-Crosti Syndrome
Author: Sren A Craig-Mller; Chief Editor: Dirk M Elston, MD more...
Updated: Aug 1, 2014

Background
Gianotti-Crosti syndrome (GCS) is a distinct infectious exanthem with associated lymphadenopathy and acute
anicteric hepatitis.[1] Gianotti and Crosti initially described GCS as associated with a hepatitis B virus exanthem,
which they termed papular acrodermatitis of childhood. A similar constellation of characteristics was later found to
be associated with several infectious agents and immunizations that were called papulovesicular acrolocated
syndromes. Subsequent retrospective studies have shown that these 2 entities are indistinguishable from one
another, and they are now consolidated under the unifying title of GCS.[2]
