Ive been sick for exactly one week. I was given amoxicillin. Two days ago, my blood test results came back positive for infectious mononucleosis. I was told that some people who take amoxicillin while sick with mono will develop a skin rash. I didnt develop a rash until today, two days after I ended my run of amoxicillin. The rash appeared rather suddenly a few hours ago and is a blanket of dots on my arms, shoulders, back, and the sides of my abdomen. It does not seem to affect my legs or feet. Is this rash related to the mono?
Hi thanks for asking question. In infectious mononucleosis, presentation is with fever, sore throat and headache with enlarge lymph node. You have suffered from rash also. Let me know you that approximate 5 to 10 % patient can suffer from generalized widespread rash also. Usually first it involves trunks, abdomen , arms. Then face may be involved. After getting cleared from infection rest will disappear. So yes, infectious mononucleosis can lead to rash that you have asked for. I hope I have solved your query
