Viral exanthems are a common problem in tropical regions, particularly affecting children. Various skin rashes have been reported in acute infections caused by Enterovirus. Biological samples from a child who presented generalized rashes were sent to the Enteric Virus Laboratory of the Adolfo Lutz Institute for laboratory diagnosis to be performed. A viral sample isolated from RD (human rhabdomyosarcoma cells) was subjected to the polymerase chain reaction and showed a 437-base pair product that was characteristic of the Enterovirus genus. Echovirus 6 (E-6) serotype was identified using the indirect immunofluorescence test. In addition, paired serum samples presented seroconversion to E-6. So far, there have not been any reports of E-6 involvement in exanthematic diseases in Brazil. Thus, the importance of epidemiological surveillance for these diseases and their complications is emphasized.
