The most important factor is non-receipt of all age-appropriate vaccine as one of key factors for fever and rashes. The sociodemographic factors have a crucial role in transmission of viral exanthem and stakeholders must keep a vigil over these factors while dealing outbreaks of fever with rash disease.
