[Transient neonatal pustular melanosis].

Ten newborn infants with transient neonatal pustular melanosis are reported. The incidence (0.59%), the most noticeable clinical aspects and the differential diagnosis are pointed out. We report with special emphasis the presence of eosinophils in the smears from skin lesions. The authors think that transient neonatal pustular melanosis and erythema toxicum neonatorum are, probably, two different clinical expressions of the same entity.
