    Abstract:
    INTRODUCTION: clinical presentation which seems to be more specific of this infection. EXEGESIS: A 35-year-old woman, 12 weeks pregnant, presented with a primary infection of parvovirus B19. The clinical presentation was characterized by pseudo-cellulitis plaques of the buttocks and the vulva, buccal enanthema with ulcerations and Koplick spot. CONCLUSION: This is the second observation which describes such cutaneous and mucosal manifestations associated with parvovirus B19 infection. This kind of clinical presentation should be systematically reported to become well known by the physicians as erythema infectiosum of fifth disease or "gloves and socks" syndrome.
