Exanthema is a regular sign of the exanthematous infectious diseases, but it can be observed in many various non-infectious conditions. This article is focused especially on viral exanthematous diseases generalized or localised. As to the characteristic features of the rash we can differentiate maculopapular, vesiculous, and haemorrhagic exanthemas. In wider differential diagnostics have to be thought over rashes of bacterial, fungal, and parasitic aetiology, non-infectious causes, especially allergic, after some drugs, in some dermatologic diseases, and in cases of skin manifestations of systemic diseases.

Keywords: Key words: exanthema, viral infections, differential diagnosis, management, prophylaxis.
