On the fourth day from the onset the eruption makes its the eruption the fever usually increases for 24 to 48 hours. Itappears first in the face in the form of papules and blotches, which coalescemore or less imperfectly, leaving sometimes islands of white skin betweenthem. Sometimes after coalescence the eruption quite resembles that ofscarlet fever. Under any circumstances the boundary between the erup-tion and the sound skin is uneven and crescentic. The eruption is somewhatraised above the surface, and the whole effect is to make the face appearswollen. This elevation of surface at times becomes distinctly papular andeven shot-like, resembling closely the papular stage of smallpox. In fact,this appearance has quite often lead to a diagnosis of smallpox, which 12hours later had to be withdrawn. From the face the eruption spreads tothe neck, thorax, abdomen, and extremities. It is bright red, as a nile.
