exanthem

The exanthem has also a dull scarlet color or the boiled lobster hue, differing thus from the rosy-red and shining patch of erysipelas.

Uncomplicated measles too, generally runs its course with a marked leukopenia, specially distinct during the breaking out and at the height of the exanthem.

The dermal manifestations, such as urticaria and eruptions resembling the exanthem of scarlatina, are too well known to need mention here.

The initial lesions of the exanthem are dense and deeply-set papules, so closely coherent even at this moment that they scarcely leave between them interspaces of sound skin.

At this stage of the disease the eruption greatly suggests an intense rubeolous exanthem, and has been, as a result, repeatedly mistaken for the so-called black measles.
