What is it about?
We report on a 9 years old girl with skin type I according to Fitzpatrick, who developed for the first time infiltrated erythema partly covered by crusts in her face and on her helices following first intense insolation and presented disseminated papulovesicular lesions. An infection with EBV could not be found in serology. A porphyria could be ruled out. We made the diagnosis of Hydroa vacciniforme showing also clinical or demographic features of actinic prurigo and juvenile spring eruption.
