Abstract
Cutaneous findings are a prominent feature of many rare infectious diseases, and recognition of these findings is often essential to diagnosis. During my residency, I have seen 3 rare infectious diseases as dermatologic consultations which have included rat-bite fever (RBF), leprosy, and generalized vaccinia. The case of RBF was diagnosed in a 34-year-old woman who presented with a 2-day history of malaise, fever/chills, polyarthralgia, and a tender and pruritic vesiculopapular rash of extremities and oral mucosa beginning 2 days after being bitten by a rat.
