Because of the concern for herpes simplex virus infection in the neonate, the presence of neonatal vesiculobullous lesions is a critical finding. However, there are other etiologies for these lesions. A case of a neonate with a vesicular rash and meningoencephalitis which was initially thought due to herpes is presented. The infant was ultimately determined to have incontinentia pigmenti and a concomitant coxsackievirus B2 infection.
