The cause of papules, purpura gloves and sock-like syndrome

(1) Causes of the disease

Considered as a parvovirus infection.

(two) pathogenesis

Harmas et al. used polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect IgM antibodies positive for parvovirus B19 (parvirus B19; PVB19). PVB19 was also positive for IgM seroconversion, while other bacteria and viruses were negative.

Pimple purpura gloves and sock-like syndrome prevention

The disease is a viral infection, so the prevention program should be directed to the virus. At present, there is no vaccine interview for this disease, so the prevention measures are mainly to improve the body function, increase the resistance, reduce or avoid the occurrence of this disease. Usually you can eat more foods with high vitamin C content, such as kiwi, lemon, thorn pear fruit, etc., vitamin C has a strong reduction, can enhance the resistance to avoid virus invasion. Early detection, early treatment.

Diagnostic identification of papules, purpura gloves and sock-like syndrome

According to the fever, the hands and feet of the wrist are covered with gloves and socks-like redness, purpura, papular rash, accompanied by oral erythema erythema, erosion and sputum, PVB19 antibody positive, can be diagnosed.
