Abstract
Childhood exanthemata are a group of conditions that are characterised by an eruptive rash, typically caused by an infection. Six classic childhood exanthemata were defined in the early 20th century causing high rates of morbidity and mortality. With improvements in hygiene and living standards, and the development of vaccines, they are now a rare occurrence. However, in recent years with declining vaccination rates, there is a reported increase in incidence of such infections. As such, it is important for GPs to be able to identify such conditions and manage them appropriately.
