Ian, a 2-year-old boy, is referred to the paediatric day unit by his

GP with a history of fever, cough, blocked runny nose and sticky eyes for 6 days.

His GP prescribed amoxicillin 2 days ago for otitis media, and that evening he started to develop a rash around his ears and hairline. His parents stopped giving the antibiotics, but the rash continued to spread over most of his body.

The parents report that he has been very miserable and lethargic for the last 5 days.

They thought the rash may be an allergic reaction to amoxicillin. He attends nursery but his parents are not aware of any other

children there who have been unwell. His parents are well, and he has an older brother who has autism.
