Abstract
This septicemia is characterized by the clinical triad of cutaneous eruption, fever and arthralgia. It must not be mistaken for connectivitis because inappropriate corticosteroid prescription may provoke severe complications. Confirmation of the diagnosis is provided by the blood cultures, which should be repeated. In the case of strong clinical suspicion, the rapid improvement with antibiotics confirms the diagnosis.
