[Children and adults with fever and exanthema]

Patients with fever and rash/exanthema generally are "small emergencies", rarely needing emergency transport or intensive care in a hospital. Low experience of most parents and doctors (who never have seen Measles, Rubella or Varicella) result in non-necessary extensive laboratory tests (e.g. PCR in Meales), while looking for Koplik-Sport is even not mentioned in official guidelines. "Red flags" such as Petechia, Erysipela, necrotizing faszilitis or severe allergic reaction warrant, that "fever and exanthema" remains a permanent challenge for doctors on duty.
