A Classic Presentation of Roseola Infantum

Copyright © 2024, Pippin et al..

Roseola is a common viral exanthem of childhood, most frequently affecting infants and toddlers before age three. The syndrome is characterized by an abrupt onset of high fever, which, upon resolution, yields to a centrally located maculopapular rash that spreads peripherally. This report describes the case of an 18-month-old child whose fever and defervescence rash provide insight into the typical presentation and progression of this pervasive yet mostly benign condition.
