Sterile transient neonatal pustulosis is a precocious form of erythema toxicum neonatorum.
A sterile pustular skin eruption was observed in 17 of 3,541 newborn infants examined over a period of 30 months. The skin eruption was always present at birth and fulfilled the clinical criteria of transient neonatal pustular melanosis (TNPM). ⋯ On the basis of our findings and a literature review we consider that a clear-cut differentiation between TNPM and ETN is not always possible. We propose the name sterile transient neonatal pustulosis to unify these conditions.

Case ReportsContact allergy to isothiazolinone derivatives: unusual clinical presentations.
Contact allergic reactions to the mixture of 5-chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazoline-3-one and 2-methyl-4-isothiazoline-3-one are most frequently associated with intolerance to cosmetics. The present article points out that such reactions, particularly on the face, can have unusual clinical presentations that are very similar to seborrheic eczema, lupus erythematosus, lymphocytic infiltrate or photodermatitis. Atopic dermatitis is also often erroneously suspected.
