Solution

Sure, here are the most identifying signs or symptoms for each diagnosis:

  1. Rubeola (Measles): This is characterized by a high fever, cough, runny nose, and red eyes, followed by a rash of tiny, red spots that start at the head and spread to the rest of the body.

  2. Mumps: The most common symptoms are fever, headache, muscle aches, tiredness, loss of appetite, and swollen and tender salivary glands under the ears on one or both sides (this is what causes the characteristic "chipmunk cheeks").

  3. Varicella (Chickenpox): This is characterized by a very itchy rash that turns into fluid-filled blisters that then become scabs. The rash usually starts on the face, chest, and back and then spreads to the rest of the body.

  4. Pertussis (Whooping Cough): This is known for severe coughing spells that end in a "whooping" sound when the person breathes in. The cough can be so severe that it causes vomiting or shortness of breath.

  5. Erythema infectiosum (Fifth Disease): This is characterized by a distinctive red rash on the face that makes the child appear to have a "slapped cheek." A lacy red rash may also appear on the arms, legs, and body.
