    Author: Pemira SM, Tolan RW.
    Journal: Clin Pediatr (Phila); 2011 Dec; 50(12):1140-3. PubMed ID: 21878609.
    Abstract:
    Papular purpuric gloves and socks syndrome (PPGSS) is a self-limited, often febrile illness with symmetric edema and erythema of the hands and feet; papular, petechial, and purpuric acral dermatosis; and mucosal lesions in children and young adults. Most of the cases of PPGSS have been reported to be caused by parvovirus B19 and other viruses. This study describes a case resulting from Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection in an adolescent male and reviews the literature.
