History

A 40 year old Customs Officer with a 3 week history of an extensive, itchy rash which developed acutely, a few days after he had been working in a shipping container. He is otherwise well, with no systemic symptoms, and while his work involves overseas travel there is no relevant medical history. He had taken no oral medication and there was no history of prior contact with anybody with infectious disease.
