Down syndrome leukemoid reaction-associated transient neonatal pustulosis – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1547280523

An eruption of vesicles and pustules containing blast cells which presents at or immediately after birth in neonates with Down syndrome or trisomy 21 mosaicism and associated transient myeloproliferative disorder. The eruption typically involves the face more than the trunk or extremities. The eruption can thus serve as a pointer to the underlying haematological abnormality.
