This adolescent was started on amoxicillin for a sore red throat, enlarged tonsils, and cervical adenopathy 2 days earlier. He developed a widespread morbilliform eruption with involvement of the palms and soles. His strep screen was negative, but his mono spot was positive. The antibiotic was discontinued and the rash resolved over the subsequent week.
