Human parvovirus B19 infection showing follicular purpuric papules with a baboon syndrome-like distribution

Parvovirus B19-associated purpuric–petechial eruption

“…One PVB19 infected case showed purpuric-petechial papules with a baboon syndrome-like distribution that resembled our case 2. 15 Furthermore, PVB19 recently proved to be a common cause of impalpable petechial rash in children during the outbreak of erythema infectiosum. 16 These rashes, occasionally followed by EI, often have a generalized distribution with local accentuation such as intertriginous areas and/or distal extremities.…”

Viral infections of the folds (intertriginous areas)

“…Cases of baboon syndrome that has been previously reported in connection with infectious agents are described as a subtype; infection-induced baboon syndrome-like pattern. 40,41 This pattern of Baboon like-erythema has been reported in two women that presented with erythematosus rash in the major skin folds, with vesicles and elements of purpura in one patient and bullous oedema in the other. 40 In both cases, the diagnosis of primary PVB19 infection was confirmed by positive PCR screening of viral A C C E P T E D M A N U S C R I P T…”

“…[34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50] Papular-purpuric gloves and socks syndrome is an acute self limiting pruritic dermatosis that affects the distal extremities in a gloves and socks pattern. PPGSS presents initially with erythema and popular oedema and may also be associated purpura and rarely petechiae.…”

“…34,38,39 Apart from these well-known manifestations of the infection, PVB19 infection has also been implicated in several other lesser-known exanthems [40][41][42][44][45][46][47][48][49][50] Baboon like erythema of the Parvoviruses: Baboon syndrome is a disease that shows symmetrical areas of erythema on the axillae, inner side of the thighs, flexural areas such as the antecubital and popliteal fossae, buttocks and anogenital area. Baboon syndrome is known to be induced by systemic contact dermatitis to contact allergens such as mercury and nickel, and recently cases related with infectious agents and many other drugs have been reported.…”

“…Baboon syndrome is known to be induced by systemic contact dermatitis to contact allergens such as mercury and nickel, and recently cases related with infectious agents and many other drugs have been reported. [40][41][42] As described by Miyahara et al, 43 contact allergen-induced, topical (contact allergenic) drug-induced and systemic (non-contact allergenic) drug-induced types of Baboon syndrome are present. Cases of baboon syndrome that has been previously reported in connection with infectious agents are described as a subtype; infection-induced baboon syndrome-like pattern.…”
