“…COMMENTS PPGSS is a rare, but clearly defined clinical entity with distinctive characteristics which permit its rapid recognition and diagnosis, even considering that diverse acral dermatitis and disorders associated with acral petechiae have to be considered in the differential diagnosis, such as GianottiCrosti syndrome, atypical measles, rickettsial diseases, Kawasaki disease, and meningococcemia 10,14 . Cutaneous manifestations of PPGSS are characteristic.…”

“…The papular-purpuric "gloves and socks" syndrome (PPGSS) was first described in 1990 by HARMS et al 10 based on clinical features of five Swiss young adults presenting with a pruritic erythema and edema of the hands and feet, sharply marginated on the wrists and ankles, rapidly evolving to petechial purpura associated with fever and oral aphthoid lesions. The illness was self-limited, lasting 1 to 2 weeks.…”

SUMMARYWe present a case of papular-purpuric "gloves and socks" syndrome (PPGSS) in an adult male with acute parvovirus B19 infection. The patient displayed the classical features of fever, oral lesions, and purpura on hands and feet, but the purpuric lesions on the feet evolved to superficial skin necrosis, a feature not previously described in this syndrome. We believe this is the first reported case of PPGSS occurring in Brazil.

ÖzetParvovirus B19 makülopapüler, eritemli, peteşiyal veya purpurik lezyonlar gibi farklı deri döküntüleri neden olabilir. Ayrıca parvovirüsü B19 aplastik anemi, löko-peni, nötropeni ve trombositopeni gibi bazı önemli hematolojik bozukluklara neden olabilir. Biz peteşiyal-purpurik döküntüleri ile hastaneye başvuran bir çocuk olguyu sunduk. Laboratuvar analizinde lökopeni ve trombositopeni bulundu ve parvovirus B19 IgM serolojik testleri pozitif olduğu tespit edildi. Yatışının üçüncü gününden sonra, peteşiyal-purpurik döküntüleri gerilemeye başladı ve laboratuvar sonuçları normal aralığa geldi. Biz hastalığın parvovirus B19 enfeksiyonu olduğunu düşünü-yoruz. Hastaya yanlızca ateş düşürücü ilaçlar verildi. Takibinde klinik ve laboratuvar bulguları tamamen iyileşti. Sonuç olarak; parvovirüs B19 peteşi ve purpura gibi bazı farklı klinik belirtiler neden olabilir. Ayrıca hematolojik bozukluklar da komplikasyon olarak görülebilir. Bu nedenle, döküntü, trombositopeni ve lökopenisi olan hastaların ayırıcı tanısında mutlaka düşünülmelidir. Anahtar KelimelerLökopeni; Parvovirüs B19; Döküntü; Trombositopeni Abstract Parvovirus B19 can cause different skin rashes like maculopapular, erythematous, petechial, or purpuric lesions. In addition, parvovirus B19 can cause some important hematologic disorders like aplastic anemia, leukopenia, neutropenia, and thrombocytopenia. We report a child who was admitted to the hospital with petechial-purpuric rashes. On laboratory analysis, leukopenia and thrombocytopenia were found and serologic testing of parvovirus B19 IgM was determined to be positive. After the third day of hospitalization, the petechial-purpuric rashes began to decline and laboratory results were in the normal range. We think that the disease was parvovirus B19 infection. The patient was treated with only antipyretic drugs. On follow up, the clinical and laboratory findings had completely returned to normal. In conclusion, parvovirus B19 can cause clinical signs such as petechiae and purpura. Also, hematologic disorders may be a complication. Because of this, it should be considered in the differential diagnosis in patients with rash, thrombocytopenia, and leukopenia.

“…However, its relationship with parvovirus B19 was not known until 1991. [7] Systemic symptoms including exanthema, mucosal lesions, lymphadenopathy, mild fever, loss of appetite, and arthralgia are seen in PPGSS. Papularpurpuric lesions on hands and feet accompanied by painful and itchy symmetrical erythema and edema are its characteristics.…”

“…However, fatigue, high fever, and gloves and socks type rashes on her hands and feet indicated that our patient had gloves and socks syndrome. This syndrome, which was first defined by Harms et al in 1990, is characterized by symmetrical ede- Figure 1. In view of the hands and feet macular petechial rash seen.…”

SUMMARYRash diseases characterized macules, papules, vesicles and pustules. Many viral infection associated with generalized morbilliform skin rash. Papular purpuric gloves and socks syndrome (PPGSS) is a clinical situation caused by human parvovirus B19. PPGSS occurs at hands and foot through lesions exhibiting symmetrical gloves and socks-like erythematous dispersion. Concomitantly, there are lesions and fever at mouth. A 35 years old woman applied with papular symmetrical eruption at hands and foot, oral lesions and fever.
