Fever, rash, and red eyes in Thailand: A diagnostic challenge
We report a case of a 29-year-old food vendor from Samut Phrakan province in central Thailand, who travels daily to Bangkok for work. She presented to the Hospital for Tropical Diseases with a high-grade fever associated with profound myalgia for 4 days. A faint maculopapular rash was observed on the trunk. In addition, hyperemia of the conjunctivae of both eyes was present as shown in Fig. 1. Her visual acuity was intact with no complaints of blurry vision or eye pain.
