An 11-month-old boy presented with mild fever and rhinorrhea of several day’s duration. His mother had noted "insect bites" on his left leg and left foot swelling. The pediatrician found a well-appearing, interactive child in no acute distress. Several erythematous round, flat-topped papules, less than 0.5 cm in diameter, were noted on the left leg and torso. Moderate, non-pitting edema was noted over his left foot. A pale dusky discoloration developed in the foot over the next several hours and edema spread proximally to involve most of the left lower leg. The next day, additional lesions were noted on the left leg and trunk and the eruptions had spread to the patient’s arms, ears, face, and genitalia.
