| Summary: | A 7-year-old Malay girl was admitted to our institution presenting with fever for 4 days that was persistently above 38°C, with a maximum temperature of 39.9°C. This was associated with a papular and pruritic rash over her chest and limbs for 4 days, as well as a tender right neck swelling for 3 days, diarrhea, and bitemporal headaches for 2 days. This was accompanied by early morning vomiting and nausea, but no blurring of vision or other neurological deficits. She also had red eyes and a dry cough that was not accompanied by coryzal symptoms for 1 day. She initially presented to a family physician and was given 3 days of oral azithromycin. However, her right neck swelling grew in size and redness over the last 2 days prior to admission. It was reported that she did not have contact with any sick persons. However, she had travelled to South India a month ago. |
