<\/p>\nThis atlas is an attempt to depict the most common and important rashes that we see in our daily life. It necessarily is not in order of importance.<\/p>\n
Neither is it possible to describe all the rashes which we see. Nevertheless, we have given an honest effort to collate the most important ones here.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Toxic shock syndrome, as the name indicates, is toxin mediated. Organisms such as Group A Streptococcus (Streptococcus pyogenes) and Staphylococcus aureus can cause this condition. Streptococcus pyogenes produce a toxin Streptococcal pyrogenic exotoxin.<\/p>\n
The toxin when passed into the circulation results in hypotension, high fever, multi organ failure (3 or more organ systems are involved), vomiting, diarrhoea, headache and rashes. There can also be skin peeling out of palms and soles [1<\/strong>]<\/sup>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Photo 1: Toxic shock syndrome rash on leg<\/a>. <\/p>\n Image 2: Toxic shock syndrome rash on the trunk of a patient<\/a>. <\/p>\n Picture 3: Desquamation in palm due to toxic shock syndrome.<\/a> The disease is caused by Streptococcus pyogenes. The toxins produced by this bacterium can cause Scarlet fever. It usually follows a throat infection by the same bacteria. Sore throat<\/a> with swollen glands, high fever, rashes, flushed face, pallor around the mouth and strawberry like tongue could be scarlet fever.<\/p>\n A doctor has to confirm the diagnosis after appropriate examination and investigations. The rashes generally start from the face or neck and then spread down to the limbs and trunk[2<\/strong>]<\/sup>.<\/p>\n Image 4: Rashes of scarlet fever over neck and trunk<\/a>. Photo 5: \u2018Strawberry tongue\u2019 in a child with Scarlet fever<\/a> Picture 6: Scarlet fever rashes on upper limbs and back<\/a> Image 7: Scarlet fever rash on a child\u2019s face<\/a>. Here, the organism causing toxic shock syndrome is Staphylococcus aureus. The toxin produced by staphylococcus which causes this condition is Toxic Shock Syndrome Toxin-1 (TSST-1). The toxin when passed into the circulation results in hypotension, high fever, multi organ failure (3 or more organ systems are involved), vomiting, diarrhoea, headache and rashes.<\/p>\n There can also be skin peeling out of palms and soles[1<\/strong>]<\/sup>.<\/p>\n Photo 8: Desquamation (skin peeling off) of palm can be seen in a case of Staphylococcal toxic shock syndrome<\/a>. Image 9: Toxic shock syndrome rashes on abdomen<\/a>. Picture 10: Desquamation (skin peeling off) of palm can be seen in a case of Staphylococcal toxic shock syndrome<\/a>. Image 11: Rashes in Toxic shock syndrome<\/a>. The disease is caused due to a toxin, Epidermolytic toxin produced by Staphylococcus aureus. The toxin spreads through the blood and can cause lesions that resemble scalding (burns caused by hot water or liquids). Mostly it is seen in children below 5 years of age though it can affect any aged person. In new born, the condition is also called as Ritter\u2019s disease.<\/p>\n The child may present with fever, irritability, redness of the skin and fluid filled blisters. Peeling off of large areas of skin may occur [3<\/strong>]<\/sup>.<\/p>\n Photo 12: Staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome<\/a> Image 13: Staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome<\/a> Photo 14: Staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome<\/a> Picture 15: Staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome<\/a> \u2018Follicle\u2019 is the lower part of a hair strand. When an infection occurs in the follicle, it is called as folliculitis. In people frequently using a hot tub or swimming pool, Pseudomonas aeruginosa can get to the base of hair and cause folliculitis.<\/p>\n It can be seen as vesicles or pustules at the follicles of areas which come in contact with water for a longer time. Generally it involves abdomen, buttocks, axillae etc[4<\/strong>]<\/sup>.<\/p>\n Photo 16: Hot Tub Folliculitis<\/a> Picture 17: Hot Tub folliculitis<\/a> Image 18: Hot Tub Folliculitis. Note the vesicle at the root of hair follicles<\/a> Photo 19: Hot tub folliculitis<\/a> Ecthyma Gangrenosum, most commonly caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, is usually seen in patients with low immunity. When the immunity is low any infection can easily occur. The organism enters through a break in skin or through infection in any other parts of the body.<\/p>\n The lesion seen is initially a macule (<1 cm wide skin discoloration) which rapidly aggravates into a haemorrhagic pustule. The area degenerates (gangrene formation) with surrounding erythema (redness) and central scar (eschar) formation[5<\/strong>]<\/sup>.<\/p>\n Image 20: Ecthyma gangrenosum. Eschar can be seen in the picture.<\/a> Photo 21: Ecthyma gangrenosum. Eschar can be seen in the picture.<\/a> Picture 22: Ecthyma gangrenosum.<\/a> Image 23: Ecthyma gangrenosum.<\/a> The three parts of the name make it easy to understand the condition. Due to thrombosis (blockage of small blood vessels), there is a decrease in platelet count. When platelet count decreases, there can be minute bleeding into the layers of skin called as petechiae.<\/p>\n Along with petechiae, there can be central nervous system involvement (seizures, paraesthesia, visual disturbances etc) and anaemia (fatigue)[6, 7<\/strong>]<\/sup>.<\/p>\n Photo 24: Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura in a pregnant lady<\/a>. Image 25: https:\/\/www.nhlbi.nih.gov\/sites\/www.nhlbi.nih.gov\/files\/images_273<\/a> Picture 26: Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura.<\/a> Tularemia is a zoonotic (disease spreading from animals to man) affecting rodents and hares caused by an organism Francisella tularensis. It enters human body through tick bite, ingestion of contaminated water, eyes, or by skin contact with infected animals. It is highly contagious and can be life threatening if not treated promptly.<\/p>\n Tularemia is characterized by lesions that are characteristic based on their route of entry. When the route of entry is skin, there can be ulceration with lymph node<\/a> enlargement. Whereas, if the route of entry is eyes, then there can be irritation and inflammation of the eye. If it enters the body by ingestion of contaminated water or food, then it may cause tonsillitis, ulcerations in mouth and enlargement of the glands in neck[8, 9<\/strong>]<\/sup>.<\/p>\n Image 27: A case of Tularemia (oropharyngeal type) with cervical lymphadenopathy (enlarged lymph nodes)<\/a> Picture 28: Tularemia under the nail due to rabbit bite<\/a>. Anthrax is another zoonotic disease which is caused by an organism, Bacillus anthracis. According to the route of entry, the features of disease can be seen. On the skin, it is seen as a papule which develops into an eschar[10<\/strong>]<\/sup>.<\/p>\n Photo 29: Cutaneous type of anthrax with eschar on the cheek of a person.<\/a> \u00a0Image 30: Photo shows eschar formation in anthrax with surrounding erythema (redness)<\/a> Picture 31: Lesion in cutaneous anthrax<\/a> Photo 32: Anthrax lesion<\/a> It is transmitted by ticks to humans and most commonly caused by Borrelia burgdorferi. At the site of bite, an area of redness develops and expands (Erythema migrans). Other features include joint pains, headache, palpitations, facial paralysis etc. Occasionally it may show a \u2018Bull\u2019s eye\u2019 appearance[11<\/strong>]<\/sup>.<\/p>\n Photo 33: \u2018Bull\u2019s Eye\u2019 Appearance in Lyme\u2019s disease.<\/a> Image 34: http:\/\/cursoenarm.net Picture 35: Erythema migrans rashes<\/a> Image 36: A lesion showing \u2018Bull\u2019s eye\u2019 appearance of rash in case of Lyme\u2019s disease.<\/a> Relapsing fever is also caused by Borrelia species. Borrelia recurrentis is transmitted by louse and causes epidemic relapsing fever\/louse borne relapsing fever. Whereas Borrelia hermsii and few other borrelia species is transmitted by ticks and causes endemic relapsing fever\/tick borne relapsing fever.<\/p>\n High fever which occurs recurrently along with period of crisis due to severe hypotension marks this disease. This disease can be fatal if not treated appropriately [12, 13, 14, 15<\/strong>]<\/sup>.<\/p>\n Image 37: Rash seen in relapsing fever.<\/a> Syphilis, a sexually transmitted disease has 4 stages, primary, secondary, latent and tertiary. The secondary stage presents with rashes all over the body but mostly on palms and soles. It can also show generalized lymphadenopathy (enlarged lymph nodes) and condyloma lata (wart like lesion in the genitalia and perineum)[16, 17, 18<\/strong>]<\/sup>.<\/p>\n Photo 38: Image shows rashes seen in secondary syphilis, in palms.<\/a> Image 39: Secondary syphilis with rash over trunk.<\/a> Picture 40: Secondary syphilis- generalized rashes<\/a> Image 41: Secondary syphilis- Rashes on soles<\/a>. Typhoid fever is caused by Salmonella typhi and paratyphi groups which spreads generally through contaminated food or water. It presents as high fever with diarrhoea, joint pains, headache, tiredness, and anorexia. It may also show rashes called as \u2018Rose spots\u2019[19, 20<\/strong>]<\/sup>.<\/p>\n Photo 42: Rash in typhoid fever.<\/a> Picture 43: Typhoid fever- Rose spots<\/a> Image 44: Typhoid fever- Rose spots.<\/a> It is caused by an organism Rickettsia akari and transmitted by mites. A papule which develops into vesicles followed by ulceration and eschar formation occurs. Systemic symptoms like high fever, headache, throat pain, muscle aches, chills & rigor, vertigo, nausea etc can be seen. It usually resolves by itself [21, 22, 23<\/strong>]<\/sup>.<\/p>\n Photo 45: Rickettsial pox- eschar formation.<\/a> Image 46: Rickettsial pox- eschar formation.<\/a> Photo 47: Rickettsial pox- The vesicles may resemble those in chicken pox.<\/a> RMSF is caused by Rickettsia rickettsii. The disease usually presents with high fever, headache, muscle pain, nausea and rashes. The non-itchy petechial rashes appears on ankles and wrists which spread over to the palms, soles and other parts of the body[24, 25<\/strong>]<\/sup>.<\/p>\n Photo 48: Rashes of Rocky Mountain Spotted fever on a child\u2019s forearm and hand.<\/a> Picture 49: Petechial rashes of Rocky Mountain spotted fever on leg.<\/a> Image 50: Rocky Mountain Spotted fever- Rashes on ankles, legs and soles.<\/a> Epidemic typhus is a rickettsial disease caused by Rickettsia prowazekii. The organism enters the human body through louse. The symptom of the disease includes, fever, muscle pains, nausea, vomiting, lethargy and rashes. In some people, the organism may persist even after the symptoms disappear. These organisms get reactivated when the immunity decreases and can cause the recurrence called as Brill-Zinsser disease.<\/p>\n Endemic typhus, also known as Murine typhus, is another rickettsial disease caused by Rickettsia typhi. The organism is usually transmitted by rat flea. The symptom of the disease includes, fever, muscle pains, nausea, vomiting, lethargy and rashes[26, 27, 28, 29<\/strong>]<\/sup>.<\/p>\n Photo 51: Epidemic Typhus fever rash<\/a> Picture 52: Epidemic Typhus fever rash<\/a> Image 53: Epidemic Typhus fever rash<\/a> Picture 54: Endemic typhus<\/a> Scrub typhus is caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi. The organism enters the body through bite of a mite. An eschar formation occurs at the site of the bite. Systemic involvement including cardiac, pulmonary and central nervous system can occur. Generally a high fever, with eschar formation and constitutional symptoms such as lethargy, anorexia, nausea, headache etc occurs in an infection of scrub typhus [30<\/strong>]<\/sup>.<\/p>\n Photo 57: www.defence.gov.au Photo 58: Eschar on thigh due to scrub typhus infection.<\/a> Image 59: Sometimes the eschar formation might be hidden even on the scalp.<\/a> In individuals who are recently infected with HIV, non-specific macules and papules may be seen. This is due to skin reaction which occurs when the immunity is low. Other symptoms related to primary HIV infection may be present. Skin rashes in HIV can vary widely as it depends on the organism and cause of the condition[31, 32, 33<\/strong>]<\/sup>.<\/p>\n Photo 60: Rash due to Kaposi\u2019s Sarcoma in an HIV infected patient.<\/a> Picture 61: Herpes zoster infection in an HIV infected patient.<\/a> Image 62: Molluscum contagiosum in a patient with HIV<\/a> Photo 63: Exacerbation of psoriasis in an HIV infected patient.<\/a> Infectious mononucleosis, also known as kissing disease, is well known for it being contagious with close contacts especially in the young. The disease is caused by Ebstein-Barr virus (Human Herpes Virus 4 \/HHV4). The presentation of patient is usually with fever, sore throat, fatigue and enlarged lymph nodes. It may also show diffuse macules or papules, urticaria, petechiae and peri-orbital oedema[33, 34, 35, 36<\/strong>]<\/sup>.<\/p>\n Picture 64: Infectious mononucleosis rash<\/a> Image 65: Rash in case of a patient with infectious mononucleosis<\/a> Picture 66: Thick white covering over enlarged tonsils, seen in case of a patient with infectious mononucleosis.<\/a> Measles is a highly contagious infection, caused by virus, and spreads rapidly through air (cough, sneeze, speaking etc). Around 90% of people, who come in contact with the infected person, usually get infected. The initial symptoms resemble an upper respiratory tract infection with runny nose, fever, sore throat and swelling of the lymph nodes in the neck. In 2-3 days, white spots appear in the mouth<\/a> (Koplik\u2019s spot), which are characteristic of Measles.<\/p>\n Rashes start to break out from the face and then spread on to neck, trunk, arm, legs and feet. Initially they are flat, sometimes may be raised from the surface, and as they spread to the other parts of the body they may become joined together[33, 37, 38, 39<\/strong>]<\/sup>.<\/p>\n Image 67: Measles infection in a child.<\/a> Photo 68: A child showing severe measles infection<\/a> <\/p>\n Picture 69: A closer look on the rashes due to Measles in a child.<\/a> Rubella is also a contagious disease usually spreading among the children and the youth. It can present with rashes, lymphadenopathy (enlarged lymph nodes), fever, arthritis etc. The rashes start from the face and then spread downward. Rubella when infecting a pregnant lady can be dangerous to the child, for it may be born with cataract, heart disease and deafness[40<\/strong>]<\/sup>.<\/p>\n Image 70: Rubella rash<\/a> Picture 71: Rubella rash<\/a> Image 72: A closer look on the rashes due to Rubella<\/a> This disease is spread through the air from infected persons. Parvovirus B19 is the organism causing this condition. Erythema infectiosum starts with fever, sore throat, runny nose, headache, abdominal pain etc. A period of around 7-10 days of no symptoms follows the initial period. Then the rashes appear on face giving the classical feature of \u2018slapped cheek appearance\u2019. Lace like reticular maculopapular rashes<\/a> appear after 1-4 days[41<\/strong>]<\/sup>.<\/p>\n Picture 73: Rash of Erythema infectiosum can be seen on the cheeks of this child.<\/a> Image 74: \u2018Slapped Cheek\u2019 appearance on a baby due to Parvo B19 infection (Erythema infectiosum)<\/a> Photo 75: The rashes in Erythema infectiosum may show a lacey appearance.<\/a> Exanthem subitum is caused by Human Herpes Virus 6 (HHV6). The condition is characterized by a high fever initially which subsides abruptly within 3-5 days, followed by appearance of maculopapular rash over trunk and neck. The child may present with febrile seizures. It is usually seen in infants[42, 43, 33<\/strong>]<\/sup>.<\/p>\n Image 76: Roseola infantum rash.<\/a> Photo 77: Roseola infantum<\/a> Image 78: A closer look on Roseola rash<\/a> Picture 79: Roseola rashes on back of a child.<\/a> West Nile fever is most commonly transmitted by mosquito bite. The mosquito would have collected the West Nile virus from birds which are natural hosts of this virus. Most of the people who get infected do not show any symptoms. Rest of them may present with fever, headache, body ache, nausea, vomiting, and skin rashes mainly on trunk and extremities.<\/p>\n In some, it may cause neurological disease such as meningitis or encephalitis[44, 45, 46<\/strong>]<\/sup>.<\/p>\n Image 80: West Nile fever rash presented as diffuse maculopapular rash.<\/a> Picture 81: A closer look on the rashes due to West Nile fever.<\/a> Dengue fever is caused by dengue virus which is transmitted by mosquito Aedes aegypti. It is characterized by severe body ache, headache, retro-orbital pain, vomiting, tiredness and high fever. Rashes appear throughout the body giving it a flushed appearance. Certain areas on the skin may show \u2018islands of white in a sea of red\u2019.<\/p>\n In few people dengue fever may complicate into Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever (DHF) or Dengue Shock Syndrome (DSS) [47, 48<\/strong>]<\/sup>.<\/p>\n Photo 82: Rashes seen in dengue maybe raised bumps or petechial hemorrhages.<\/a> Image 83: Rashes seen in dengue maybe raised bumps or petechial hemorrhages.<\/a> Picture 84: Rashes seen in dengue maybe raised bumps or petechial hemorrhages.<\/a> Image 85: Rashes in dengue fever<\/a> Chikungunya fever is transmitted by the same mosquito as in case of Dengue fever, the Aedes aegypti. The virus after entering the body, can cause, fever, headache, arthritis and rashes. The rashes here are flat red patches which may show raised spots too[49, 50, 51<\/strong>]<\/sup>.<\/p>\n Picture 86: Rash seen in a case of Chikungunya infection<\/a> Picture 87: Rash in Chikungunya infection<\/a>Streptococcal Toxic Shock Syndrome Rash Pictures<\/h3>\n
