What condition is indicated by a 4-year-old with fever, malaise, cough, conjunctivitis, 'runny nose', erythema, and small bluish-white macules on buccal mucosa?

Measles (Rubeola)

A 4-year-old with fever, malaise, cough, conjunctivitis, 'runny nose', erythema, and small bluish-white macules on buccal mucosa is exhibiting symptoms of Measles (Rubeola). Measles is a highly infectious viral disease that typically affects children and is characterized by these symptoms. Mumps is also a viral infection but typically presents with swelling of the salivary glands. Chickenpox is caused by a different virus and presents with a rash that starts on the face and spreads to the rest of the body. Scarlet Fever, on the other hand, is a bacterial infection and presents with a rash in the groin and armpit area, not on the buccal mucosa.
