Abstract

Introduction: Pityriasis rosea (PR) is a widespread skin erythemato-squamous eruption, occurring mostly in young adults.

Case presentation: A 9-year-old patient presented with multiple lesions developed after streptococcal pharyngitis and erythema nodosum diagnosed and treated with penicillin prior to the PR.

Conclusion: This unique case should be considered a coincidence of two consecutive diseases.
