Papular purpuric gloves and socks syndrome (PPGSS) is a self-limited exanthem that presents as painful or pruritic edema, erythema, petechiae, and purpura of the palms and soles with occasional extension to the dorsal hands and feet. The majority of PPGSS cases reported in the literature are associated with parvovirus B19 and occur in children and young adults. In a recent literature search, there were 11 PPGSS cases in adults with none reporting Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) as a viral etiology. However, there have been PPGSS cases related to EBV in children. We report the case of a 72-year-old man with PPGSS associated with Epstein-Barr virus. This case report serves as a reminder that PPGSS can present not only in the setting of pediatric and young adult parvovirus B19 infection, but also in immunocompetent adults with other viral infections.

A primary goal of psychiatry is to better understand the pathways that link genetic risk to psychiatric symptoms. Here, we tested association of diagnosis and endophenotypes with overall and neurotransmitter pathway-specific polygenic risk in patients with early-stage psychosis. Subjects included 205 demographically diverse cases with a psychotic disorder who underwent comprehensive psychiatric and neurological phenotyping and 115 matched controls.

The so-called papular-purpuric gloves and socks syndrome (PPGSS) is a condition characterized by acute onset of intense erythema, edema and petechiae with a typical localization on the hands and feet, besides mucosal lesions of the oral cavity. The syndrome has a favorable and self-limited course, requiring only a symptomatic therapy. In the 50% of the cases described in literature (ninety cases in 22 years), is documented an acute infection caused by parvovirus B19 and in only two cases the onset of PPGSS is reported among different members of the same family.

Background: Papular-purpuric gloves-and-socks syndrome, characterized by focal acral purpuric eruptions with a symmetrical distribution, is a rare but representative purpuric dermatosis closely associated with parvovirus B19 (PVB19) infection. However, several atypical presentations such as involvement of other sites and generalized involvement have been recently reported in PVB19 infected patients. Such multifaceted features can cause considerable confusion when making a diagnosis of purpuric eruption associated with PVB19.
