Small red spots with bluish white centers on the oral mucosa, particularly in the region opposite the molars. A diagnostic sign in measles.
Small white spots with a blue tinge surrounded by a red areola, found in the mouth in the early stages of measles [Described 1896. After Henry Koplik (1858-1927), US paediatrician.]
Small red spots with bluish white centers found on the mucous membrane of the mouth and tongue and characteristic of measles, usually appearing 1 or 2 days before the measles rash.
Tiny red spots with a white center most commonly found on the mucous surface inside the cheek and opposite the molar teeth. Koplik spots, which are the size of grains of sand, may appear less commonly on the inner surface of the lower lip and on the palate. The spots appear directly before the characteristic skin rash of rubeola, which is measles, and are often the basis for an initial diagnosis of measles. They disappear once the rash, typical of the illness, begins.
Small red spots with bluish-white centers that often appear on the mucous membranes of the mouth in measles.
Bluish-white spots appearing on the mucous membrane of the mouth in cases of measles about the third day of the disease, and appearing before the skin rash.
Small red spots with blue-white centers on the oral mucosa, particularly in the region opposite the molars; a diagnostic sign in measles before the rash appears. Not infrequently, the spots disappear as the rash develops.
Small lesions that appear within the oral cavity, particularly on the inner side of the cheek, are characterized by tiny white spots resembling grains of salt or sand embedded in a reddened bump. These distinctive markings are exclusive to measles.
Small spots that emerge in the mouth during the early stages of measles.
Tiny red dots encircled by pale white regions that emerge on the inner cheek, close to the rear teeth, a few days before the measles rash becomes visible.
