Purpuric-like rash as cutaneous eruptions in parvovirus B19 infection in Thai infant. The Southeast Asian Journal of Tropical Medicine and Public Health. 2006 Sep; 37(5): 911-4http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/33442The Southeast Asian Journal of Tropical Medicine and Public Health.An 8-month-old girl presented with fever, rash, and diarrhea. Physical examination revealed multiple well-circumscribed, brownish-black, purpuric-like rashes on the face, arms, and legs with cervical and suboccipital lymphadenopathy. Laboratory findings showed mild anemia with thrombocytopenia and positive polymerase chain reaction for parvovirus 819 DNA in the serum. The patient recovered uneventfully with symptomatic and supportive treatment. Since the infection can manifest in many dermatological patterns, it should also be included in the differential diagnosis of febrile illness with purpuric rash in children.engErythema Infectiosum --diagnosisFemaleHumansInfantParvovirus B19, HumanCase Reports
