Cutaneous adenovirus infection in an immunocompromised child.

Adenoviruses are common viral pathogens in childhood; however, cutaneous manifestations are not well-documented. We present a rare case of cutaneous adenovirus infection in a 23-month-old boy with a background of CD40 ligand deficiency, post bone marrow transplant. The clinical morphology of the skin lesions in our patient, described as skin-colored papules with central crusting, has not been previously described and contributes to the growing literature of cutaneous adenovirus cases.
