Parvovirus B19 has a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations. Erythema multiforme and vasculitis are rarely reported with parvovirus B19 infections. Reactions to insect stings can range from local swelling to life-threatening systemic reactions. There have been rare reports of unusual reactions, such as vasculitis, occurring in a temporal relationship with insect stings. We report an 8-year-old patient having Parvovirus B-19-related erythema multiforme and vasculitis after a yellow jacket bee sting. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
