| macular erythema | <paediatrics> Also called baby measles. This is a nonserious but common childhood viral infection that starts with a high fever and swollen lymph glands. After 24 hours, the fever breaks and the child develops a red rash on the neck and trunk. (27 Sep 1997) |

| macrophage |
a large scavenger cell that ingests degenerated cells and foreign organisms. Macrophages exist in large numbers throughout the body and contribute to the development of acquired immunity by acting as ANTIGEN PRESENTING CELLS. They also ingest and destroy foreign matter coated with ANTIBODIES. Macrophages can be infected by HIV.
