Generalized eruptions with fever are a frequent problem in paediatric practice. Clinical type of skin lesions, distribution and associated signs and symptoms are sometimes specific enough for a definitive diagnosis. However non specific clinical findings do not allow an aetiologic conclusion in some instances. More than 50 infectious agents, drugs and numerous inflammatory diseases are known to cause rashes in childhood.
