    Author: Butler GJ, Mendelsohn S, Franks A.
    Journal: Australas J Dermatol; 2006 Nov; 47(4):286-8. PubMed ID: 17034474.
    Abstract:
    A 7-year-old girl presented with acute vulval erythema and pustules, associated with a petechial eruption in her flexures and over her feet. There was a mild prodromal illness and the patient was afebrile. There were minimal symptoms associated with the rash. Skin and throat swabs were negative and blood examination showed mild neutrophilia and lymphopaenia. Parvovirus B19 IgM was detected on serology and cutaneous features resolved within 4 days. This is a further case of parvovirus B19 infection presenting as a 'bathing trunk' exanthem that has unique dermatologic features, including the presence of pustules and distant petechiae.
