  • aseptic meningitis
32
Q

Herpangina

Usually seen in children of all ages caused by nonpolio enteroviruses and coxssackie, characterized by rapid onset fever, vomiting, sore throat, etc, most mild and resolve within a week, no specific treatment except analgesics

33
Q

Pityriasis rosea

A

Common benign papulosquamous disease considered a viral exanthem but has no single viral cause, begins as a solitary patch that resolves within 6 weeks, treatment is entirely suppportive

34

A
  • prodrome of headache, fever, debilitating fatigue
  • exudative pharyngitis (often mistaken for strep pharyngitis, which is more erythematous!!)
  • hepatomegaly and splenomegaly
