Coxsackievirus B2 Infection in a Neonate With Incontinentia Pigmenti

William J. Barson MD1 and Charles Ba Reiner MD1

Because of the concern for herpes simplex virus infection in the neonate, the presence of neonatal vesiculobullous lesions is a critical finding. However, there are other etiologies for these lesions. A case of a neonate with a vesicular rash and meningoencephalitis which was initially thought due to herpes is presented. The infant was ultimately determined to have incontinentia pigmenti and a concomitant coxsackievirus B2 infection.

Key Words: coxsackievirus B2 • incontinentia pigmenti • vesiculobullous lesion
