German Measles

A rash characterized by rose-colored spots that have merged into a red blush is seen across the cheeks but not on the forehead. The lymph nodes in the neck and back of the head are swollen. These findings are typical of German measles (rubella). On the right, the rash spreads to the back and shoulder within 24 hours.
