The eruption may resemble exanthems caused by viral and bacterial infections. A morbilliform skin rash in an adult is usually due to a drug. In a child, it is more likely to be viral in origin. Morbilliform drug eruption is also called maculopapular drug eruption, exanthematous drug eruption and maculopapular exanthem.
May 7, 2022 · Maculopapular exanthem is characterized by an acute and generalized eruption of erythematous macules and papules without overlying scaling.

Jan 12, 2023 · Exanthematous (maculopapular) drug eruption, also called morbilliform (measles-like) drug-induced exanthem, is the most common drug hypersensitivity reaction [ 1,2 ]. It is characterized by a disseminated, and occasionally generalized, symmetric eruption of erythematous macules and/or papules ( picture 1A-B) that occur approximately one to two ...
What causes exanthems? Exanthems during childhood are very common and are usually due to specific viral infections: Chickenpox (varicella) Measles (morbillivirus) Rubella (rubella virus) Roseola (herpes virus 6B) Erythema infectiosum (parvovirus B19). Viral exanthems also include: Acute human immunodeficiency virus infection syndrome; Smallpox ...

Some viral infections are name-giving for drug-induced exanthemas (rubeola like or measles like exanthemas) and distinction is difficult during the acute phase.
