Enanthem or enanthema is a rash (small spots) on the mucous membranes.[1] It is characteristic of patients with viral infections[2] causing hand foot and mouth disease, measles, and sometimes chicken pox, or COVID-19.[3] In addition, bacterial infections such as scarlet fever may also be a cause of enanthema. The aforementioned diseases usually present with exanthema and enanthema.
Enanthema can also indicate hypersensitivity.[4]
