Abstract

The authors report a case of congenital rubella in a 7-month-old female infant presenting a Blueberry Muffin Rash. Blueberry Muffin Syndrome is a cutaneous manifestation characterized by widespread maculo papular lesions of a reddish-blue or magenta colour, due to persistent dermal erythropoiesis in patients with congenital viral infections.
