    A child is in the acute phase of a disease with findings of a strawberry tongue, irritability, and a non-blistering rash. What disease could the child be experiencing?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Measles: Typically presents with Koplik spots, a maculopapular rash, and fever, not a strawberry tongue or non-blistering rash. B. Cardiomyopathy: Refers to a disease of the heart muscle; it does not cause a strawberry tongue or rash. C. Tetralogy of Fallot: A congenital heart defect that presents with cyanosis and heart-related symptoms, not a strawberry tongue or rash. D. Kawasaki Disease: Characterized by a strawberry tongue, fever, rash, conjunctivitis, and irritability, especially during the acute phase.
