The classic description of erythema marginatum is of a few asymptomatic erythematous patches or plaques with a characteristic central clearing which may coalesce and develop a polycyclic configuration.

Histology of the urticarial lesions revealed a mixed, superficial, perivascular infiltrate with prominent eosinophils. Rheumatic fever should be considered in children with fever and urticaria-like eruptions even in the absence of the classically described erythema marginatum.
