Caption:
This image depicts the chest of a child, revealing the classic maculopapular red, patchy rash of rubella, otherwise known as German measles, which occurs 14 to 17-days after exposure. The rash usually begins on the face, and then progresses from head to foot. It lasts about 3-days, and is occasionally pruritic. The rash is fainter than a measles rash, and does not coalesce, and is often more prominent after a hot shower, or bath.
