Özet

Papular-purpuric gloves-and-socks syndrome (PPGSS) is a rare disease characterized by a painful and pruritic symmetric erythematous lesion with a typical localization on the hands and feet, besides mucosal lesions of the oral cavity. Although various viruses such as varicella zoster virus, Epstein-Barr virus, cytomegalovirus, herpesvirus 6/7, Cocksackie virus, hepatitis B virus, and rubella cause PPGSS, the most often reason is parvovirus-B19. Moreover, these lesions are less common in pediatric patients than adults. In this case report, we aimed to present a 13-year-old patient with PPGSS secondary to parvovirus B19 successfully treated with intravenous immunoglobulin therapy.
