[edit] HHV8, picture

The picture, stolen from one of the linked websites, is of the 'herald patch' of pityriasis rosea, not some random 'oval rash' of pityriasis rosea. The caption should not have been reworded, because the herald patch differs from the rest of the rash, preceding it by few days and being much larger than the other spots.

Pityriasis rosea is now thought to be caused by human herpes virus 8 - was published in the NEJM a few years ago.

One wonders whether the effort of placing more material at the request of an abusive illiterate is worthwhile. Perhaps the composer of the last comment might be better off searching for articles on reading and spelling difficulties. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.94.192.200 (talk) 08:57, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
