Fever and rash in a child: when to worry?The differential diagnosis of a fever and rash presenting in a pediatric patient is quite extensive. This article is not all-inclusive but is meant to aid in the diagnosis to differentiate serious, life-threatening eruptions from more benign common rashes.

Facts on Prevention, Detection & Treatment from John Hopkins MedicineCutaneous eruptions are the most frequently reported adverse reactions to drugs, and most medications have a 1% to 3% risk of producing immunologic manifestations. Drug-induced allergic reactions occur in approximately 5% of the population, and these reactions are responsible for approximately 6% to 10% of all adverse drug reactions. Of all medication classes, b-lactam antibiotics, sulfonamides, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are responsible for 80% of all reports of allergic and pseudoallergic reactions.
