Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -People usually have a sustained fever that can be as high as 103–104°F (39–40°C). A sustained fever is a fever that does not come and go. Some people with typhoid fever or paratyphoid fever develop a rash of flat, rose-colored spots.

Detailed explanation-2: -Symptoms of roseola appear about ten days after infection. The first sign of illness is a high fever (often above 103° F or 39.5° C). This fever can last from three to seven days. Once the fever goes away, a rash often appears on their stomach that may spread to their back, neck and arms.

Detailed explanation-3: -The roseola rash may look like small pink spots or bumps that can merge into patches. In some babies, the rash is reddish, and it may turn a lighter color when a person applies pressure. There can sometimes be a paler “halo” around the rash area.
