Abstract
Erythema infectiosum is the main clinical variant of infection associated with parvovirus B19 in children. Clinical symptoms include mild fever, erythema on the cheeks («a slapped face» symptom), and a maculopapular rash on the body that becomes lacy over time. But this characteristic of the rash is not always recorded. Parvovirus B19 is associated with various skin lesions that require a differential diagnosis with tick-borne borreliosis, sudden exanthema, hemorrhagic vasculitis, systemic lupus erythematosus, etc. The differential diagnosis is considered using the example of a 6-year-old child hospitalized in an Infectious Hospital with atypical manifestations of erythema infectiosum.
