CAZORLA, MB; CASTRO, JB; RUEDA, ML  and  GREES, S. Baboon-like syndrome induced by Parvovirus B19: report of a pediatric case. Rev. argent. dermatol. [online]. 2021, vol.102, n.3, pp.21-30. ISSN 1851-300X.

Parvovirus B19 is a common viral cause of exanthem in pediatric patients. Classically responsible for infectious erythema, in the last few years it has also been associated with atypical rashes. A form of periflexural eruption associated with viral agents has been recently described as Baboon-like syndrome. We present the case of a 9-years-old girl with serological evidence of acute Parvovirus B19 infection that developed a maculopapular-petechial rash with lesions in large folds. A review of the available literature in relation to unusual Parvovirus exanthem is performed and the case is described as Baboon - like syndrome, a cutaneous manifestation of this viral infection.

Keywords : Atypical rash; Parvovirus B19; Baboon-like syndrome; Baboon-like exanthema.
