BACKGROUND: Generalized rash is amongst the most common conditions presented to
practicing General Practitioners and common differentials include contact
dermatitis, atopic eczema, sun-induced damage, drug eruption and general
manifestations of systemic diseases or infections. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We
illustrate with differential diagnoses our clinical case of a generalized rash in
a 55-year-old man with pathognomonic signs of a diagnosis, which has received
increasing global concern. CONCLUSION: Despite the array of available laboratory
tests, a detailed history and physical examination is still of paramount
importance to arrive at the most likely diagnosis for any patient with a
generalized skin rash.
