Abstract
Introduction: Parvovirus B19 infection is a very polymorphic eruption. We describe a new clinical form. Case report: A 4-year-old child was hospitalized for a painful acrocyanosis localised at the feet and the tip of the nose, which disappeared without any treatment in three week s. The screening revealed a parvovirus B19 infection. Discussion: This eruption differs from the classic ''gloves and socks syndrome'' becau se of the presence of plantar and nasal painful erythrocyanosis and th e young age of the child.
