AbstractAn 8-month-old girl presented with fever, rash, and diarrhea. Physical examination revealed multiple well-circumscribed, brownish-black, purpuric-like rashes on the face, arms, and legs with cervical and suboccipital lymphadenopathy. Laboratory findings showed mild anemia with thrombocytopenia and positive polymerase chain reaction for parvovirus 819 DNA in the serum. The patient recovered uneventfully with symptomatic and supportive treatment. Since the infection can manifest in many dermatological patterns, it should also be included in the differential diagnosis of febrile illness with purpuric rash in children.
