Many viral infections can cause a rash in addition to other symptoms. Rashes are very
common with viral infections, especially in young children.

The symptoms caused by viral rashes can vary depending upon the virus. One of the symptoms that may occur is a rash. There are some well-known viral rashes. For example, the measles virus and the chicken pox virus cause characteristic rashes along with other symptoms. Sometimes a typical rash helps a doctor to diagnose which virus is causing an illness.

Many viruses can cause a rash in addition to other symptoms such as fever and cough. Many of these rashes are 'nonspecific'. This means the rash is not specific or characteristic enough to identify the virus that is causing the rash. The doctor cannot say which virus is the culprit, but that some virus is a likely cause of the rash.

Viral rashes vary in shape and size. However, they often appear as blotchy red spots. Commonly they affect most of the body. Sometimes they appear dramatically. For example, you may wake up in the morning to find yourself covered in a rash. It usually lasts only a few days. Sometimes the rash is slightly itchy. Usually the rash disappears without trace within a few days. There are a great variety of types.

The viral rash itself is not usually serious.  But it is very important to make sure the rash is not part of a serious infection - e.g, meningococcal infection. If you have any concerns then you should contact your GP immediately.
What matters is whether other symptoms or problems occur. For example, the measles virus can cause a nasty illness with a chest infection, severe diarrhoea, etc, in addition to a rash. However, many viruses cause only minor symptoms - perhaps a mild fever or slight cough - but the rash may look quite dramatic. Sometimes the rash appears just as the other symptoms are improving.           Pregnant women - most viral infections causing a rash will do no harm to the developing baby. However, some may do. For example, the rubella (German measles) virus. It is therefore best for pregnant women to avoid people who have an infectious rash. Also, if you are pregnant and develop a rash, it is best to see a doctor for advice.There are a number of viral infections that may cause a rash - most of them typically in childhood. Examples include:

• Measles.
• German measles (rubella).
• Chickenpox (varicella virus).
• Fifth disease (erythema infectiosum) due to parvovirus.
• Roseola (erythema subitum, due to herpes virus 6).
• Pityriasis rosea (the cause is unknown but it may be caused by herpes virus types 6 and 7).
• Echovirus and adenovirus infections often produce a rash.
• Epstein Barr virus of infectious mononucleosis, or glandular fever, (may cause rash but, if amoxicillin or ampicillin is given, there is almost invariably a rash).
• Primary HIV infection (often associated with a rash).
