Petechial glove and sock syndrome caused by parvovirus B19.
The petechial glove and sock syndrome is a recently described febrile dermatosis characterized by acral edema, petechiae in a characteristic distribution, and enanthem, which has been associated in several cases with parvovirus B19 seroconversion. We report an additional case of petechial glove and sock syndrome that further corroborates the role of parvovirus B19 as a causative agent of this syndrome in adults.
