Roseola Infantum
Overview
Historical Perspective
Previously known as "Roseola infantilis", the oldest known description of the disease dates as far back as 100 years ago by John Zahorsky, M.D in his publication in 1913 [1] [2]. Described as a symptom-complex of febrille erythema occuring in infants and not to be categorized alongside the erythema group of skin diseases. However, no clear-cut description was given to differentiate it from other pediatric skin eruptions. The name was subsequently dropped [1] .
