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.
