[A 28-year-old patient with exanthema on hands and feet].
We report on a case of papular-purpuric gloves and socks syndrome (PPGSS). Our 28-year-old female patient showed a typical exanthema on hands and feet followed by high fever, cervical swelling of lymph nodes and general symptoms. Clinical and paraclinical tests led to a diagnosis of PPGSS. This is, in most cases, caused by viral infections, in particular by the parvovirus B19. After recovering, the daughter of our patient suffered from erythema infectiosum, a typical infection caused by parvovirus B19.
