Abstract
FOLLOWING A 3-day history of fever, rhinorrhea, cough, and conjunctival injection, a 20-month-old boy developed the rash pictured in Figure 1. On the third day after the appearance of the rash, the lesions had become more confluent (Figure 2). Figure 3 and Figure 4 illustrate typical buccal mucosal lesions associated with this illness.
