AB An  18-month-old  boy,  who  is  visiting  family  in  San  Antonio  with  his  parents  from  Central  America,  presents  with  a  3-day  history  of  fever,  malaise,  conjunctivitis,  coryza,  and  cough.  He  had  been  exposed  to  a  child  with  similar  symptoms  approximately  2  weeks  prior.  A  day  before,  he  developed  a  maculopapular  rash  that  blanches  under  pressure  (Figures  111-1  and  111-2).  His  shot  records  are  unavailable  but  his  mother  states  that  his  last  vaccine  was  before  age  1  year.  He  is  diagnosed  with  measles  and  supportive  care  is  provided.
