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. Patients with measles will have the rash but there are other syndromes that will display the same symptom such as patients with Kawasaki disease, 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.
