Figure Legend:
The same characteristic rash of human monocytic ehrlichiosis in the patient in images 041_03 and 041_04. The differential diagnosis of this rash includes Rocky Mountain spotted fever, meningococcemia, and Stevens-Johnson syndrome. Other tick-borne diseases such as Lyme disease, babesiosis, Colorado tick fever, relapsing fever, and tularemia may need to be considered. Kawasaki disease also has caused some diagnostic confusion.
