The term morbilliform refers to a rash that looks like measles. The rash consists of macular lesions that are red and usually 2-10 mm in diameter but may be confluent in places. [1]
Patients with measles will have the rash but there are other syndromes and infections that will display the same symptom such as patients with Kawasaki disease[2], meningococcal petechiae or Waterhouse-Friderichsen syndrome[2], congenital sypillis [3] , rubella[2], Echovirus 9[2], drug hypersensitivity reactions (in particular with certain classes of antiretroviral drugs, such as abacavir and nevirapine), or other conditions may also have a morbilliform rash.
