AB A  young  college  student  was  seen  for  fatigue  and  an  upper  respiratory  infection  and  started  on  amoxicillin  for  a  sore  throat.  Six  days  later,  she  broke  out  with  a  red  rash  all  over  her  body  (Figure  154-1).  She  went  to  see  her  family  physician  back  home  with  the  rash  and  lymphadenopathy.  A  monospot  was  drawn  and  found  to  be  positive.  This  morbilliform  rash  (like  measles)  is  typical  of  an  amoxicillin  drug  eruption  in  a  person  with  mononucleosis.  Amoxicillin  was  stopped,  and  diphenhydramine  was  used  for  the  itching.
