exanthema/fever

Human parvovirus B19 (B19V) infection in immunocompetent patients usually has a mild clinical course, but during pregnancy it can cause serious and even fatal complications in the fetus. The most common clinical presentation of B19V infection is erythema infectiosum and in this case laboratory

We report on a patient with Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia who developed fever, rash, eosinophilia and hepatitis 10 days after initiation of a therapy with sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim. A DRESS syndrome was diagnosed and the therapy was changed successfully to pyrimethamine and dapsone. We

A 64-year-old man developed a severe generalized pruritic morbilliform skin eruption, fever, eosinophilia, atypical lymphocytosis, and liver dysfunction 30 days after ingestion of mexiletine, a sodium channel blocker, prescribed to treat postherpetic neuralgia. Following intravenous dexamethasone,

Evaluation of histopathological and ultrastructural changes in skin eruptions of three dengue fever patients was performed. The main pathological findings in skin lesions were swelling of the endothelial cells in small vessels of papillary dermis, diapedesis of neutrophils, extravasation of

Dengue viral infections are one of the most important mosquito borne diseases in the world. The dengue virus is a single stranded RNA virus belonging to the Flaviviridae family. There are four serotypes (DEN 1-4) classified according to biological and immunological criteria. Patients may be

A 14-month-old boy presented with fever and an itching papulous skin eruption. Based on the clinical presentation and the histopathologic findings in the skin biopsy, the diagnosis of Gianotti-Crosti syndrome was made.

In a retrospective and prospective audit of 55 children presenting to the paediatric assessment unit of a district general hospital with fever and petechial rash, 9% had significant bacterial sepsis. The "ILL criteria" (irritability, lethargy, low capillary refill) for the management of children

In this study, a new multiplex RT-PCR method for detecting various viral genes in patients with rash and fever illnesses (RFIs) was constructed. New primer sets were designed for detection of herpes simplex viruses 1 and 2 (HSV1 and 2), and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). The newly designed and previously

A 59-year-old man was admitted to this hospital because of fever, confusion, rash, thrombocytopenia, and renal failure, 10 days after a hunting trip in the Nevada valley. Diagnostic procedures were performed, and diagnostic test results were received from another hospital.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the prevalence of specific antibodies anti-human parvovirus B19 (PVB19) immunoglobulin M (IgM) and IgG in children with fever and rash. This study involved 257 children aged from 7 months to 15 years with febrile rash unrelated to measles and rubella (seronegative

In order to determine the predictive value of a rash during dengue fever, a cohort study was conducted in children hospitalized for dengue during an epidemic in French Guiana. A rash was predictive of uncomplicated dengue: the HR of developing a severe form of disease was 0.43 (95% CI 0.21-0.88;

OBJECTIVE To study the incidence of cases with rash and fever illness (RFIs) after measles vaccine (MV) inoculation. METHODS During 1999 to 2002, 150 RFIs cases reported by the special measles surveillance system in Shandong province, China, were investigated and analyzed

The differential diagnoses of reactive arthritis presenting as arthralgia should be considered as diverse disorders, especially when the symptoms cannot be fully explained by some definite diseases. Do not ignore the indication of bone marrow aspiration. We reported a 50-year-old woman who

Patients with fever and rash/exanthema generally are "small emergencies", rarely needing emergency transport or intensive care in a hospital. Low experience of most parents and doctors (who never have seen Measles, Rubella or Varicella) result in non-necessary extensive laboratory tests (e.g. PCR in

An epidemic of rash and fever illnesses suspected of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) occurred in Gansu Province of China in 2008, laboratory tests were performed in order to identify the pathogen that caused this epidemic. Eight clinical specimens collected from the 4 patients (each patient has
