At the time of presentation, he and his mother noted some painful bumps on his lower legs, and denied trauma (Figure 152-1). No history of recent cough or change in bowel habits was reported. The patient had no chronic medical problems, took no medications and had no known drug allergies. On examination, his oropharynx revealed tonsillar erythema and exudates. Bilateral lower extremities were spotted with multiple slightly-raised, tender, erythematous nodules that varied in size from 2 to 6 cm. Rapid strep test was positive and he was diagnosed clinically with erythema nodosum (EN) secondary to group A β-hemolytic Streptococcus. He was treated with penicillin and NSAIDs. He experienced complete resolution of the EN within 6 weeks. SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/28 UR - accesspediatrics.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1114877096 ER -
