Fever and rash
1-Measles
2-Rubella
3-Mumps
4-Roseola Infantum
5-HZV
6-Erythema Infectiosum
7-Scarlet Fever
Repost from PediaMastery
Remember always
That any infection targets the RES (reticuloendothelial system)
Like Enteric fever , Kala Azar , Brucellosis
Mostly presents with
1-Leukopenia rather than leukocytosis
2-Hepatospleenomegaly
3-Prolong fever
4-In severe cases :➡️➡️ pancytopenia
## 1) Tuberculosis (TB)
Key Differentiators
* Chronic symptoms: prolonged cough (>2–3 wk), weight loss, fever, night sweats
* Exposure history to adult with TB
* Pulmonary ± extrapulmonary (lymph nodes, bone, CNS)
🩺 Exam clues
* Firm, non-tender lymphadenopathy (esp. cervical)
* Signs of chronic illness, failure to thrive
📊 Investigations
* Positive TST/IGRA
* Chest X-ray: hilar lymphadenopathy, segmental/lobar disease
💡 Pearl: TB is indolent, not acute; think TB with persistent symptoms + exposure history
(Nelson22e, Infectious Diseases – Tuberculosis)

## 2) Exanthematous Diseases
### a) Scarlet Fever
* Cause: Group A Streptococcus (toxin mediated)
* Rash: sandpaper-like, starts on trunk
* Other clues: strawberry tongue, circumoral pallor
💡 Follows streptococcal pharyngitis
(Nelson22e, Streptococcal infections)
---
### b) Measles (Rubeola)
* Prodrome: 3 C’s – cough, coryza, conjunctivitis
* Pathognomonic: Koplik spots
* Rash: starts at hairline → spreads downward
💡 Severe illness, high fever
(Nelson22e, Measles)
---
### c) Mumps
* Parotitis (painful, bilateral or unilateral)
* Fever, malaise
* Complications: orchitis, meningitis
💡 No rash
(Nelson22e, Mumps)
---
### d) Rubella
* Mild illness
* Postauricular & occipital lymphadenopathy
* Rash spreads rapidly, fades quickly
💡 Congenital rubella risk
(Nelson22e, Rubella)
---
### e) Erythema Infectiosum (Parvovirus B19)
* Slapped cheek rash
* Lacy rash on body
* Mild or no fever
💡 Can cause aplastic crisis
(Nelson22e, Parvovirus infections)
---
### f) Roseola Infantum (HHV-6)
* High fever → sudden defervescence → rash
* Age: 6–18 months
💡 Febrile seizures common
(Nelson22e, HHV-6 infections)
---
## 3) Diphtheria
* Gray pseudomembrane on tonsils/pharynx
* Bleeds on removal
* Bull neck (cervical adenopathy)
* Low-grade fever
💡 Toxin causes myocarditis & neuropathy
(Nelson22e, Diphtheria)
---
## 4) Pertussis (Whooping Cough)
Stages
* Catarrhal → Paroxysmal → Convalescent
* Inspiratory “whoop”
* Post-tussive vomiting
💡 Apnea common in infants
(Nelson22e, Bordetella pertussis)
---
## 5) Tetanus
* Trismus (lockjaw)
* Generalized muscle rigidity
* Painful spasms triggered by stimuli
💡 No fever, sensorium intact
(Nelson22e, Tetanus)
---
## 6) Kala-azar (Visceral Leishmaniasis)
* Prolonged fever
* Massive splenomegaly
* Pancytopenia
* Dark skin pigmentation
💡 Endemic areas + chronic fever
(Nelson22e, Leishmaniasis)
---
## 7) Varicella (Chickenpox)
* Pruritic vesicles
* Lesions in different stages simultaneously
* Starts on trunk → spreads
💡 “Dew drops on rose petals”
(Nelson22e, Varicella-Zoster virus)
---
## 8) Infectious Mononucleosis (Children)
* EBV most common
* Fever, sore throat, fatigue
* Posterior cervical lymphadenopathy
* Hepatosplenomegaly
📊 Atypical lymphocytes, positive heterophile test (older children)
💡 Avoid amoxicillin → rash
(Nelson22e, Epstein-Barr virus)
أول مرة نفروتك + طفل → Steroid trial
• Steroid-resistant → Biopsy
• Frequent relapse → Cyclophosphamide
• نفروتك + ألم مفاجئ → Thrombosis
Most common nephrotic syndrome in children = Minimal Change Disease (steroid sensitive).
خريطة ذهنية سريعة:
• طفل + يستجيب للستيرويد → MCD
• ما يستجيب + ضغط عالي → FSGS
• رضيع + تشوهات جنسية → Denys-Drash
• Complement واطي → MPGN / Lupus
4️⃣ أكو تشوهات خلقية أو مشاكل جنسية؟
هاي تودّي مباشرة لتشخيصات نادرة 👀
🚨 Ambiguous genitalia
👉 Denys-Drash syndrome
🚨 Large placenta + edema at birth
👉 Congenital nephrotic syndrome (Finnish type)
2️⃣ يستجيب للستيرويد لو لا؟
هاي أهم نقطة بالتمييز 👑
✔️ Steroid-sensitive
👉 غالباً:
• Minimal Change Disease
• بول: foamy
• ضغط طبيعي
• Complement طبيعي
⸻
❌ Steroid-resistant
فكّري فوراً بـ:
• FSGS
• Denys-Drash
• Congenital nephrotic syndrome
