Infectious exanthemas in clinical practice.

Abstract

Objective: Aim: Analyze the causes and mechanisms of development of exanthems, provide a classification of the morphological elements and characterize clinical manifestations of rash in patients with infectious diseases based on a review of available literature data.

Patients and methods: Materials and Methods: The authors analyzed the current literature sources, including a description of exanthema syndrome and a discussion of the features of rashes in various infectious diseases.

Conclusion: Conclusions: As a result of the analysis of existing literature data, it was established that exanthema syndrome is associated with various diseases, disorders and pathological conditions, characterized by a variety of clinical manifestations, which requires clinical differential diagnosis and subsequent laboratory confirmation. Comprehensive knowledge of the causes, mechanisms of development, as well as the clinical manifestations of skin rash will contribute to the development of an improved algorithm for diagnosis and treatment of the diseases accompanied by exanthema syndrome, as well as optimization of therapeutic tactics.
