We report a case of Gianotti‐Crosti syndrome associated with human herpesvirus‐6 (HHV‐6) infection. An eight‐month‐old girl developed monomorphous papules on her cheeks, buttocks, and extremities after the subsidence of exanthema subitum. Viral antibody analysis confirmed primary HHV‐6 infection. HHV‐6 may be added to the list of causative agents of Gianotti‐Crosti syndrome.
