Here's what we chose for you from NEJM Group today:

NEJM Primary Care/Hospitalist Page: Clinical practice: A 35-year-old man presented to the clinic with pruritic maculopapular skin lesions on his neck, left arm, and trunk; no other abnormalities were noted. He described having had a similar rash a few months earlier, for which he did not seek treatment, and reported that his wife had similar skin lesions on her arms and neck. They had just returned to their house in Marseille, France, after traveling out of the country for 3 months. How should his case be evaluated and managed?
