on buccal mucosa and some around the mouth. What is the most appropriate dx?
a. Measles
b. Roseola infectiosum
c. Rubella
d. Chicken pox
e. Impetigo
answer: bad recall
measles: rash starts behind the ears, white spots on mucosa before rash......
rubella: low grade fever
erythema infectiousum: 5th disease rash is 10-17 days after symptoms, immune mediated! pro-droma, symptom-free, slapped cheeck
roseola infantum: oral involvement is on uvula, soft palate
chicken pox: generalized pattern, no buccal involvement
