Un cielo stellato sulla pelle: riconoscere la PLEVA oltre le apparenze

The paper describes the case of a 4-year-old boy who recovered from surgery and a mild respiratory infection and developed a skin rash initially mistaken for chickenpox but later diagnosed as PLEVA (pityriasis lichenoides et varioliformis acuta), a benign, self-limiting condition that was treated with antihistamines and sun exposure. It completely resolved within six weeks and left only a few temporary hypopigmented patches.
