Abstract: Harlequin ichthyosis is a member of nonsyndromic inherited ichthyosis. Neonates born with HI have generally poor prognosis. In this case report, a case of harlequin delivered at the 37th gestational week was presented. Antibiotic prophylaxis was given to the baby with emoillent creams in the newborn period. The boy is now 2.5 years old and does not have a disease other than scaly skin. The child continues to receive emoillent cream treatment. However HI has a high mortality rate during the newborn period, we believe that early antibiotic prophylaxis and the application of softening creams may prevent mortality
