Abstract
The ''gloves and socks'' syndrome was described in 1990 by Harms as a papulopetechial eruption, found mainly on acral parts. Several viruses have been implicated as etiologic agents, the most common is parvovir us B19. We add three more cases of ''gloves and socks'' syndrome, two of them related to parvovirus B19 and the other to a probable viral et iology of unknown identity. The literature is reviewed and the possibl e etiology is discussed.
