| Positive recent streptococcal infection (n = 19) |
Negative recent streptococcal infection (n = 5) |
p value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Extent of the rash a whole at baseline (% body surface area) | 17.64 ± 11.6 | 8.45 ± 4.33 | 0.01* |
| Extent of the erythematous papules at baseline (% body surface area) | 10.41 ± 11.31 | 4.45 ± 2.40 | 0.05* |
| Extent of hypopigmented lesions at baseline (% body surface area) | 7.24 ± 7.62 | 4 ± 5.66 | 0.32 |
*p value < 0.05 is significant
