Purpuric "gloves and socks" syndrome by human parvovirus B19 [S�ndrome purp�rico en "guantes y calcetines" por parvovirus B19]

We report a case of purpuric "gloves and socks" syndrome, with evidence, by serologic test and by deteccion of the PVB19 genome (PCR), of primary infection with parvovirus B19. We provide a gastroscopic study that indicates the possibility of the esophagic involvement in this syndrome, that we have not found documented to previously. We emphasize the finding of leucocitoclastic vasculitis in the histologic study of the skin lesions, scarcely refered in others patients with this syndrome
