Parvovirus B19, a DNA virus, is the etiologic agent of erythema infectiosum. This virus is also responsible for less common presentations as the papular-purpuric syndrome, a nosologic entity characterized by pruritic and painful edema and erythema localized to the hands and feet. We describe the case of a young girl with serologically documented B19 infection in whom the dermatologic lesions occurred with severe and unusual hematologic alterations.

Abstract
Parvovirus B19, a DNA virus, is the etiologic agent of erythema infectiosum. This virus is also responsible for less common presentations as the papular-purpuric syndrome, a nosologic entity characterized by pruritic and painful edema and erythema localized to the hands and feet. We describe the case of a young girl with serologically documented B19 infection in whom the dermatologic lesions occurred with severe and unusual hematologic alterations.File in questo prodotto:
