Question
Answer
Since many exanthms look similar, how do we tell them apart?   * History of the patient

🗑
Measles Cx Presentation ?   * Fever and the 3C's (cough, coryza, and conjunctivitis)... *Coryza = runny nose  
🗑
Measles Incubation, Prodromal Phase, and Final Stage ?   *Incubation = 10-12 days with no signs....* Prodromal = HIGH Fever, the 3C's, and Koplik Spots (gray/white spots on the buccal mucosa)... * Final = head to toe massive rash as fever goes down...* When you notice the rash, the Koplik spots are already gone  
🗑
Measles Complications = ?   * Neurologic complications are more common than in any other exanthematous illness..... * Encephalitis  
🗑
Treatment of Rubeola (Measles) = ?   * Kids in hospiutals need to be in isolation for 4 days with rash onset.... * No true tmt exists, just supportive, and give Vit. A to prevent blindness.... * And get vaccinated earlier to prevent (MMR)  
🗑
**Rubella (German or 3 Day Measles** virus strand and Cx = ?   * From a RNA virus..... * We see milder measles prodrome with a lower grade fever and rhinorrhea..... * We see "Rose-Pink" skin and a rash that is from head to toe again.  
🗑
Rubella Prevention/TmT = ?   * Get the MMR Vaccine to prevent the spread to pregnant women... * If fetus is infected, we can see still birth or even congenital rubella syndrome (blueberry muffin look, cataracts, deafness, and cardiac defects)

🗑
Causes the Rash in Parvo ?   * IgG abs appear during the 3rd week  
🗑
Big thing ParvoB19 does to predisposed patients that have RBC issues ?   * B19 binds to P antigen on RBCs arresting blood cell production leading to aplastic crisis in predisposed patients  
🗑
**Roseola Infantum (Sixth Disease)** Is caused by what and soome basics ?   * Caused by HHV-6 or 7—Herpesviridae family (DNA Virus).... * Attacks activated T Cells to cause overactive NK Cells.... * Does not show up UNTIL 6 and 12 months  
🗑
Roseola Infantum Clinical Manifestations = ?   * 3-5 days of HIGH Fever (101-106 !) with the absence of anything that could explain the fever at first.... * As the fever lowers, we get a truncal rash that spreads to the limbs and face

🗑
VZV lesion stages ?   * Can see different lesions at different points in evolution at once.... * Can see well developed macules, papules, and vesicles.... * Can get BAD scarring if you get a bacterial infection at the same time  
🗑
**Hand-Foot-and-Mouth Disease** What causes this and how do we get it ?   * Agent: Enteroviral (RNA virus) from coxsackievirus A or B and get it from fecal-oral spread  
🗑
