Chapter A1: Atlas of Rashes Associated with Fever

Kenneth M. Kaye; Elaine T. Kaye

INTRODUCTION
Given the extremely broad differential diagnosis, the presentation of a patient with fever and rash often poses a thorny diagnostic challenge for even
the most astute and experienced clinician. Rapid narrowing of the differential by prompt recognition of a rash’s key features can result in appropriate
and sometimes life­saving therapy. This atlas presents high­quality images of a variety of rashes that are associated with fever, most of which have an
infectious etiology.

erythema infectiosum. (Panel A reprinted from K Wolff, RA Johnson: Fitzpatrick’s Color Atlas and Synopsis of Clinical Dermatology, 6th ed. New York,

Koplik’s spots, which manifest as white or bluish lesions with an erythematous halo on the buccal mucosa, usually occur in the first 2 days of measles
symptoms and may briefly overlap the measles exanthem. The presence of the erythematous halo (arrow indicates one example) differentiates
Koplik’s spots from Fordyce’s spots (ectopic sebaceous glands), which occur in the mouths of healthy individuals. (Heinz F. Eichenwald, MD/CDC)

FIGURE A1­3

In measles, discrete erythematous lesions become confluent on the face and neck over 2–3 days as the rash spreads downward to the trunk and
arms, where lesions remain discrete. (Reprinted from K Wolff, RA Johnson: Fitzpatrick’s Color Atlas and Synopsis of Clinical Dermatology, 5th ed. New
