Children get many different kinds of rashes-many, though not all, related to infections. Below are
descriptions and photos of rashes associated with fever.
Roseola
This macular or maculopapular rash, also called exanthem subitum,
starts on the trunk and spreads to the arms and neck.
There is usually less involvement of the face and legs.
The rash is preceded by three or four days of high fevers, which end
as the rash appears.
Usually seen in children less than two years old.

CLIPP 11 - Kawasakiaculopapular, or petechial (marked
by small, purplish, hemorrhagic spots).
In fulminant cases, it can become purpuric, marked by large
hemorrhages into the skin.
Immunization is effective in preventing this infection.
