[Parvovirus B19 atypical acrosyndrome].
BACKGROUND
Parvovirus B19 infection is a very polymorphic eruption. We describe a new clinical form.


METHODS
A 4-year-old child was hospitalized for a painful acrocyanosis localised at the feet and the tip of the nose, which disappeared without any treatment in three weeks. The screening revealed a parvovirus B19 infection.


CONCLUSIONS
This eruption differs from the classic "gloves and socks syndrome" because of the presence of plantar and nasal painful erythrocyanosis and the young age of the child.
