    Author: Labbé L, Mortureux P, Leauté-Labreze C, Taïeb A.
    Journal: Ann Dermatol Venereol; 1994; 121(8):553-6. PubMed ID: 7755312.
    Abstract:
    INTRODUCTION: Among the viral purpuric cutaneous manifestations, papular-purpuric "gloves and socks" eruptions have been lately described. The responsibility of parvovirus B19 infection has been suspected. OBSERVATION: We report two pediatric cases of papular-purpuric eruption of the extremities with a seroconversion for the parvovirus B19. One patient, a twelve-year old girl, also had cellulitic plaques. DISCUSSION: Parvovirus B19 is known for causing various cutaneous manifestations, among which erythema infectiosum as the most classical. A papular-purpuric "gloves and socks" syndrome may be individualised. Previously described in adults, this type of eruption may be prevalent in childhood.
