ABSTRACT
Rash associated with a febrile illness often poses challenges in diagnosis. The clinical knowledge of pathogenesis, onset and characteristics of rash is therefore essential to make an early diagnosis and for successful management of the disease. We present herewith a case of a young man with acute febrile illness and rash which raised doubts with regards to the possible etiological diagnosis and necessitated detailed work up which revealed a diagnosis of COVID-19. The case is being highlighted as often the history and clinical presentation may seem to be obvious but an atypical uncommon presentation which in this case was a maculopapular rash may not fit the picture of a single etiological diagnosis according to the known medical literature.
