Clinical images Day 5: widespread indurated truncal plaques due to Trichophyton rubrum superficial dermatophyte infection (A and B) Following chorioamnionitis, a male infant from a remote Indigenous community was born by vaginal breech delivery at 26 weeks’ gestation. On Day 5, indurated, vesicular and erythematous lesions were noted on extensive areas of the back (Box, A and B). Blue light (450e475 nm) phototherapy had been commenced on Day 1 for jaundice. Further skin lesions subsequently arose on the lips, ears and scalp, and surface scale developed on established plaques. There was no major systemic disturbance.
