Dr. Bodilly. Puerperal Erythema simulating scarlat Fewer. (British med. Journ., 1894, 17 / w). Postpartum erythematous rash that appeared to be scarlet fever

A woman who resolved from the 2nd pregnancy, on the 4th day after normal labor, developed a fever and a red rash on the legs and abdomen, similar to scarlet fever. The next morning, the rash spread all over the body. But the excellent state of health of the patient, the decrease in temperature to normal, the correctness of the postnatal separations, indicated that it was not scarlet fever. The rash quickly faded, the postpartum woman, who got out of bed on the 10th day, remained healthy. Anamnesis revealed that this lady had a similar spillage before her marriage; but during her first childbirth, nothing of the kind happened.
