AB This  chapter  describes  disease  processes  in  children  for  which  dermatologic  symptoms  are  diagnostic  and  serves  as  a  reference  for  the  presenting  complaint  of  “rash”  in  children  and  young  adults.  Additional  detailed  descriptions  of  important  skin  diseases  are  provided  in  chapters  in  Section  20,  “Dermatology,”  with  Chapter  248,  “Initial  Evaluation  and  Management  of  Skin  Disorders,”  specifically  outlining  principles  of  evaluation  of  rashes  in  both  children  and  adults.  Several  important  disease  entities  presenting  with  rashes  are  covered  extensively  elsewhere  within  this  text  (e.g.,  Lyme  disease,  Rocky  Mountain  spotted  fever).  In  addition  to  the  discussion  below,  Chapters  in  Section  20,  “Dermatology,”  discuss  diagnosis  based  on  anatomic  location  of  the  rash.
