respiratory
signs, no cough, looks alert and well.
See the picture of rash and give the most
appropriate diagnosis?
What is your treatment?
Answer :
Roseola Infantum
At present, no medical antiviral therapy is available for human
herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) infection that causes roseola. Thus,
treatment of roseola
infantum is supportive. Inpatient care for
roseola infantum consists of
support with antipyretics and
treatment of gastroenterologic, respiratory,
hematologic, or CNS complications.
