VIRAL INFECTIONS. Viral exanthem
15/12/09
Viral exanthem
This, probably the commonest type of virally induced rash, presents clinically as a widespread non-specific erythematous maculopapular rash. It probably arises because of circulating immune complexes of antibody and viral antigen localizing to dermal blood vessels. The rash can be caused by many different viruses (e.g. echo-, parvo-, human herpes virus-6, Epstein-Barr virus;) and so is rarely diagnostic. The rash will resolve spontaneously in 7-10 days.
