More than 200 years after first description and 150 years after complete definition by Gibert, pityriasis rosea ( PR ) is still a clinical entity with many obscure aspects.

We present a review of the literature on immunological features of PR , aimed to outline a unified picture of currently available knowledge in this field and create a useful starting point for future research.
