Parvovirus B19 is the most common causative agent of papular-purpuric gloves and socks syndrome (PPGSS), an often-underreported condition in the pediatric population. Classically, PPGSS presents with a papular-purpuric and at times petechial eruption of the hands and feet. (Dermatology. 1994;188:85; Int J Dermatol. 1996;35:626) We report a unique variant of juvenile PPGSS with prominent involvement of the flexural and extensor elbows, wrists, and knees.
