A R T I C L E I N F O Keywords: Hand, foot, and mouth Rash Pediatric Adolescent
A previously healthy 15-year-old boy developed a fever, sore throat, malaise, and fatigue. Within 48-h, he developed a vesicular and maculopapular rash on the palms of his hands (Fig. 1), the soles of his feet (Fig. 2) and on his face (Fig. 3a). Painful intra-oral ulcerations also developed in his mouth (Fig. 3b). Several of his school classmates and his 17-year-old brother also developed a similar constellation of symptoms within the same week.
