N2 - We report five cases of dermal hematopoiesis in newborn infants. Dermal hematopoiesis, manifested clinically as a blueberry muffin eruption, has been associated with both intrauterine viral infections and congenital hematologic dyscrasias. Of our five patients, four of whom were boys, the cutaneous findings could be attributed to congenital infections in two instances. The infectious agents were cytomegalovirus and Coxsackie virus B-2. Two infants had hematologic abnormalities, including twin transfusion syndrome and ABO blood group incompatibility. In our fifth patient a cause was not identified.
