A2 - Appachi, Elumalai PY - 2015 T2 - The Color Atlas of Pediatrics AB - A 5-year-old boy presents to his pediatrician with a new onset rash 2 weeks after being treated for strep pharyngitis. He had been treated with a10-day course of amoxicillin after a positive rapid strep test in the office. The mother states that her son is otherwise feeling well with a good appetite and no change in his activities. The pediatrician notes small plaques on the child’s face, arms and trunk and sees the resemblance to drops of water (Figure 136-1). The vital signs are normal as is the rest of the physical examination. A diagnosis of guttate psoriasis is made without any laboratory tests or biopsies. The child is started on 0.1 percent triamcinolone ointment to be applied twice daily. A referral to dermatology is also made.
