Abstract
We describe a case of erythema multiforme in a 2-week-old boy. He had no remarkable antecedents, and a polymerase chain reaction-based technique failed to detect herpes simplex virus DNA in the skin biopsy specimen. To our knowledge, only one previous biopsy-proven case of erythema multiforme during the neonatal period has been reported.
