eschar at site of mite bite
Scrub typhus
Name the condition with the ff rash:

trunk, extremities, and head or neck; rash in
20–50% of cases
West Nile fever
Name the condition with the ff rash:
disease Transient 2- to 5-mm erythematous papules
appearing at height of fever on trunk, proximal
extremities; lesions evanescent
Still’s disease
Name the condition with the ff rash:
Blotchy or annular erythematous macular
and papular rash (trypanid), primarily on
trunk; pruritus; chancre at site of tsetse fly
bite may precede rash by several weeks
African
trypanosomiasis
Name the condition with the ff rash:
Macular and papular erythema, often in
sun-exposed areas; discoid lupus lesions
(local atrophy, scale, pigmentary changes);
periungual telangiectasis; malar rash; vasculitis
sometimes causing urticaria, palpable
purpura; oral erosions in some cases
SLE
Name the condition with the ff rash:
Maculopapular eruption (40% of cases),
involves trunk and extremities; may be
petechial
Human monocytotropic
ehrlichiosisc
Name the condition with the ff rash:
Maculopapular eruption; conjunctivitis;
scleral hemorrhage in some cases
Leptospirosis
Name the condition with the ff rash:
Similar to erythema migrans of Lyme disease with several differences, including: multiple secondary lesions less likely; lesions tending to be smaller (average diameter, ~8 cm); central clearing more likely
Southern tick-associated
rash illness (STARI,
Master’s disease)
Name the condition with the ff rash:
Papule expanding to erythematous annular
lesion with central clearing (erythema
migrans; average diameter, 15 cm), sometimes
with concentric rings, sometimes
with indurated or vesicular center; multiple
secondary erythema migrans lesions in
some cases
Lyme disease
Name the condition with the ff rash:
Erythematous annular papules and plaques
occurring as polycyclic lesions in waves
over trunk, proximal extremities; evolving
and resolving within hours
Erythema marginatum
rheumatic fever
Name the condition with the ff rash:
Central rash at end of febrile episode;
petechiae in some cases
Relapsing fever
Name the condition with the ff rash:
Eschar at bite site; then blotchy violaceous
or red-brown rash involving trunk and
extremities
Rat-bite fever (sodoku)
Name the condition with the ff rash:
Rash in 50% of cases; initially diffuse flushing;
midway through illness, onset of
maculopapular rash, which begins on trunk
and spreads centrifugally to extremities and
face; pruritus, hyperesthesia in some cases;
after defervescence, petechiae on extremities
in some cases
