In Roseola infantum, the fever is typically high and the rash appears after the fever subsides; the illness is self-limited.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only antibiotics are effective
• D. Requires hospitalization

Answer: (A)

Roseola infantum follows a classic pattern: a high fever lasts a few days, then the fever breaks and a diffuse rash appears. The illness is viral and self-limited, so it resolves with supportive care and typically does not require antibiotics or hospitalization in uncomplicated cases.

That makes the statement true: the fever is typically high, the rash appears after the fever subsides, and the illness is self-limited. Antibiotics have no role, and hospitalization is not routinely needed unless there are complications such as dehydration.
