RESUMO

Rat bite fever is a systemic illness most commonly caused by Streptobacillus moniliformis that is classically characterized by fever, rash and migratory polyarthritis. Here, we highlight the highly variable clinical presentations of rat bite fever in children and the importance of maintaining a high degree of suspicion so appropriate treatment can be promptly initiated.
