He initially presented 2 weeks ago with a maculopapular rash that has since resolved. At the time, he was given a prescription for amoxicillin-clavulanate. He denies sore throat or myalgias. He is home-schooled and has had no sick contacts. There are no pets at home, but he often visits a feline animal shelter where his mother volunteers. His temperature is 38.4°C (101.2°F).
