Papular-Purpuric Glove-and-Sock Syndrome is a rare, infectious disease, of viral etiology, characterized by the presence of pruritus, edema and symmetrical erythema, very well defined at the wrists and ankles with a gloves-and-socks distribution. Other areas can be affected, with a moderate erythema appearing in cheeks, elbows, knees, armpits, abdomen, groin, external genitalia, internal face of the thighs and the buttocks. Erosions, small ulcers, enanthema and blisters can be observed in the oral cavity and lips, and less frequently in other mucous membranes. Complications are rare, although they can be severe, 50% of the published cases are related with the Parvovirus B19. Due to its oral involvement stomatologists should be aware of this syndrome in order to carry out a correct diagnosis of the disease.
Papular-purpuric "gloves and socks" syndrome due to parvovirus B19 infection in childhood [letter]
Pediatric Dermatology, 1998
Papular purpuric gloves and socks syndrome (also known as gloves and socks syndrome) is a relatively newly described viral dermatosis with unique characteristics. These characteristics typically include an erythematous, papular, or petechial rash and edema in an acral distribution, often with associated mucosal lesions, arthralgias, and fever. We present a case of papular purpuric gloves and socks syndrome in a 46-year-old patient with acute parvovirus B19 infection, review the descriptive literature, and summarize our evolving understanding of this disease.
