We present a case of papular-purpuric "gloves and socks" syndrome (PPGSS) in an adult male with acute parvovirus B19 infection. The patient displayed the classical features of fever, oral lesions, and purpura on hands and feet, but the purpuric lesions on the feet evolved to superficial skin necrosis, a feature not previously described in this syndrome. We believe this is the first reported case of PPGSS occurring in Brazil

Las infecciones por Trichosporon cutaneum diferentes a piedra blanca producen desde lesiones localizadas en la piel y uñas, hasta infecciones asistémicas, especialmente en pacientes con inmunodepresión. Con la finalidad de conocer su frecuencia en diabéticos se realizó un estudio prospectivo con un total de 106 sujetos; se encontró en 10 casos tricosporonosis podal. T. cutaneum es capaz de ocasionar lesiones en la piel que mimetizan dermatofitosis o candidosis
