[Febrile exanthema in a patient from Central America].

A 37-year-old Panamanian woman who had been resident in Spain for 18 years presented in the emergency department with a febrile syndrome that had begun 7 days earlier, after her return from a 2-week trip to Panama. Symptoms included intense headache predominantly behind the eyes, joint and muscle pain, and asthenia. At 24 hours she developed a rash on the lower limbs associated with plantar dysesthesia, requiring evaluation by the dermatology department.
