Abstract

Acral erythema (AE) is a painful, erythematous bullous eruption of the palms and soles which is chemotherapy-induced. To the numerous chemotherapies which induce AE we must add, perhaps, a new drug, Vépéside. AE is followed by graft-versus-host-disease in all patients receiving bone marrow transplantation. AE and early GVH disease being very similar, we discuss the differential diagnosis which can be very difficult.
