Acute Periorbital Rash

A 7-year-old girl presented with a sudden onset, asymptomatic rash around the eyes for the past 3  days. She was receiving treatment for an upper respiratory tract infection, characterized by severe paroxysms of nonproductive cough. The lesions had appeared spontaneously and was not associated with any prior trauma. Physical examination revealed bilaterally symmetrical, erythematous, nonblancha ble macules distributed over both the upper and lower eyelids (Figure). There were no similar lesions and the systemic examination was unremarkable.
