The symptoms emerged 5 days after her return to the US from Calcutta, India where she worked for 2 weeks, at an orphanage where children had measles. The pt had completed her IZ's as a child, including 2 doses of MMR, at age 15 months and 7 years, and she received the recommended prophylaxis before traveling. Three days after the onset of fever, vomiting and upper respiratory tract complaints, the pt was admitted with facial erythema. She was tachycardic and had a fever of 104F, but her BP was normal. Fine erythematous papules spread down the anterior of her neck and nape and tiny white papules consistent with Koplik's spots were seen on the buccal mucosa. Pharyngeal congestion, nonpurulent conjunctivitis, and submandibular lymphadenopathy were also noted. After the pt started treatment with doxycycline and ceftriaxone, the erythematous macular eruption spread progressively over the trunk and extremities and became confluent and pruritic and subsequently desquamated. The fever and constitutional symptoms subsided with desquamation. After a 3 week period, the pt recovered completely without adverse sequela. The differential dx is measles, despite 2 doses of MMR II vaccine. No further information is available.
