EtiopathogenesisThis section has been translated automatically.
Unclear; some authors see the disease as variant of a polymorphic light dermatosis. As cold influences, sudden temperature and air pressure changes apparently also play a triggering role (analogous to frostbite), a frostbitten mechanism cannot be excluded. It remains to be seen to what extent parvovirus B19 infections are pathogenetically significant (Kreuter A et al. 2018).
