Resumen

Los exantemas son erupciones cutáneas de aparición súbita, generalmente asociadas a enfermedades sistémicas. Algunos de ellos comparten características clínicas con la fiebre escarlatina. Consideramos importante identificar las diferencias, principalmente de aquellas que amenazan la vida.
La presente revisión busca facilitar el diagnóstico diferencial de la fiebre escarlatina y exantemas similares como el síndrome de choque tóxico, el síndrome de piel escaldada y la enfermedad de Kawasaki, con el fin de dar un tratamiento adecuado y oportuno a cada uno según el caso.
