John PY - 2017 T2 - Tintinalli's Emergency Medicine Manual, 8e AB - Though rarely life-threatening, rashes are a common reason for emergency department (ED) visits in children. Helpful clues to the specific diagnosis of rash in a child include signs and symptoms that preceded or presented with the exanthem, whether mucous membranes are involved, immunization history, human and animal contacts, and environmental exposures. Identifying outbreaks among multiple children may be useful. Pediatric exanthems can be broadly classified by etiologic agent. With few exceptions, outpatient management is appropriate for most of these conditions.
