*The content in this section is in bullet points.
*Cough etiquette, contact precautions, and hand hygiene are easy and cost-effective measures in reducing the spread of [[infectious]] agents causing [[fever]] and [[rash]].
*For [[measles]], [[mumps]], [[rubella]] ([[MMR]]) prevention can be achieved by [[vaccination]] (two doses in childhood). In adolescents and adults, if none confirmatory immunization documentation exists, they need to receive two doses of MMR, at least 4-week apart.(Vaccines have been accepted in most national immunization programs)
*Prevention of [[varicella]] and [[meningococcemia]] can also be achieved by [[vaccination]]. (vaccines have been accepted in most national immunization programs).
*For [[Meningococcal Disease|meningococcal]] disease, [[chemoprophylaxis]] can also be useful. Among household contacts, the incidence of transmission of meningococcus is approximately 5%; therefore, it is recommended that household contacts of bacteriologically confirmed cases receive [[rifampin]] (adults: 600 mg bid for a total of 4 doses; children older than 1 month: 10 mg/kg; children younger than 1 month: 5 mg/kg). These contacts should be advised to watch for [[fever]], [[rash]], [[sore throat]], or any symptoms of [[meningitis]]. Intimate, non-household contacts who have had mucosal exposure to the patient’s oral secretions should also receive prophylaxis.  Health-care workers are not at an increased risk for the disease and do not require prophylaxis unless they have had direct mucosal contact with patient secretions (i.e., mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, endotracheal intubation, or nasotracheal suctioning). [[Ciprofloxacin]] (500 mg by mouth; adults only) or [[ceftriaxone]] (250 mg IM for adults or 125 mg IM for children) are single dose alternatives.
*With the increasing vector borne diseases (e.g., [[Zika virus infection|Zika]], [[chinkungunya]], [[Dengue fever|dengue]], [[yellow fever]]) efforts to prevent mosquito bites are cornerstone. Some of the recommended measures in persons living or traveling to endemic areas are:
*Long-sleeved shirts and pants.
*If possible, keep indoors at sunset.
*Cover water storage containers so that mosquitos cannot get inside to lay eggs.
*Discard or empty regularly any items that hold water like tires, buckets, pools, birdbaths, flowerpot saucers, or trash containers.
*Sleep under a mosquito bed net if you are overseas or outside and are not able to protect yourself from mosquito bites.
*Use Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-registered insect repellents with one of the following active ingredients: DEET (≥20%), picardin, IR3535, oil of lemon eucalyptus, or para-menthane-diol.  For men who live in or have traveled to an area with [[Zika virus infection|Zika]], and have a pregnant partner they either have to use [[condoms]] correctly from start to finish, every time they have [[vaginal]], [[anal]], and [[oral]] sex, or do not have sex during pregnancy.  Women who had [[Zika virus disease]] should wait at least 8 weeks after exposure to attempt conception and men with [[Zika virus disease]] should wait at least 6 months after symptom onset to attempt conception. Women and men with possible exposure to [[Zika virus]] but without clinical illness consistent with [[Zika virus disease]] should wait at least 8 weeks after exposure to attempt conception.

Overview

Fever with rash is a common symptom redundancy in patients presenting to clinicians' offices and emergency departments. Skin manifestations may provide the only early clue to an underlying infection, may be the hallmark of contagious disease, and/or may be an early sign of a life-threatening infection or serious noninfectious disorder. The differential diagnosis of fever and rash is extremely broad, but this symptom complex show an fortuity for the exacting clinician to start a probable etiology through a careful history and physical examination.

A systematic method is crucial for starting a timely diagnosis, determining early therapy when appropriate, and considering isolation of the patient if necessary. The treatment must to be belonging to euch cause specifeclly.

and the most important part is the advice that patient have to be aware of fever and rush diseases, to avoid the severity of the fever and rush side effect.

Causes

Life Threatening Causes

Life-threatening causes include conditions that may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated.

Common Causes[20]

FIRE: Focused Initial Rapid Evaluation

The diagnostic approach to the child patient with fever and rash should focus on the appearance of the rash and the detailed epidemiologic history[37][38][39]

Treatment

Shown below is an algorithm summarizing the treatment of fever and rush disease according the the [...] guidelines.

Treatment of fever depending on the cause of the symptoms, in severe cases, a child might sometimes need to stay in the hospital.
patient of fever can take acetaminophen and ibuprofen, if patient have itchy viral rash, you can try applying a cool compress or calamine lotion to the affected area.

Antibiotics can get rid of the infection, but they will not treat the rash, so we use the antibiotic in:

  • Cough etiquette, contact precautions, and hand hygiene are easy and cost-effective measures in reducing the spread of infectious agents causing fever and rash.
  • For measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) prevention can be achieved by vaccination (two doses in childhood). In adolescents and adults, if none confirmatory immunization documentation exists, they need to receive two doses of MMR, at least 4-week apart.(Vaccines have been accepted in most national immunization programs)
  • Prevention of varicella and meningococcemia can also be achieved by vaccination. (vaccines have been accepted in most national immunization programs).
  • For meningococcal disease, chemoprophylaxis can also be useful. Among household contacts, the incidence of transmission of meningococcus is approximately 5%; therefore, it is recommended that household contacts of bacteriologically confirmed cases receive rifampin (adults: 600 mg bid for a total of 4 doses; children older than 1 month: 10 mg/kg; children younger than 1 month: 5 mg/kg). These contacts should be advised to watch for fever, rash, sore throat, or any symptoms of meningitis. Intimate, non-household contacts who have had mucosal exposure to the patient’s oral secretions should also receive prophylaxis. Health-care workers are not at an increased risk for the disease and do not require prophylaxis unless they have had direct mucosal contact with patient secretions (i.e., mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, endotracheal intubation, or nasotracheal suctioning). Ciprofloxacin (500 mg by mouth; adults only) or ceftriaxone (250 mg IM for adults or 125 mg IM for children) are single dose alternatives.
  • With the increasing vector borne diseases (e.g., Zika, chinkungunya, dengue, yellow fever) efforts to prevent mosquito bites are cornerstone. Some of the recommended measures in persons living or traveling to endemic areas are:
  • Long-sleeved shirts and pants.
  • If possible, keep indoors at sunset.
  • Cover water storage containers so that mosquitos cannot get inside to lay eggs.
  • Discard or empty regularly any items that hold water like tires, buckets, pools, birdbaths, flowerpot saucers, or trash containers.
  • Sleep under a mosquito bed net if you are overseas or outside and are not able to protect yourself from mosquito bites.
  • Use Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-registered insect repellents with one of the following active ingredients: DEET (≥20%), picardin, IR3535, oil of lemon eucalyptus, or para-menthane-diol. For men who live in or have traveled to an area with Zika, and have a pregnant partner they either have to use condoms correctly from start to finish, every time they have vaginal, anal, and oral sex, or do not have sex during pregnancy. Women who had Zika virus disease should wait at least 8 weeks after exposure to attempt conception and men with Zika virus disease should wait at least 6 months after symptom onset to attempt conception. Women and men with possible exposure to Zika virus but without clinical illness consistent with Zika virus disease should wait at least 8 weeks after exposure to attempt conception.
