Morbilliform eruptions inspire a broad and varied differential spanning across inflammatory and infectious categories. The goal of this article is to help the clinician develop an approach toward the pediatric patient with a morbilliform eruption in the emergency room or hospital setting. The authors review several high-yield clinical scenarios with a focus on recently emerging and reemerging childhood diagnoses.
