Rickettsial diseases such as Rocky Mountain spotted fever and murine typhus can have a rash that resembles measles or scarlet fever, leading to misdiagnosis. Lyme disease is not typically mistaken for measles or scarlet fever as its rash often appears as a bull's eye pattern. Q fever and typhus may have rash symptoms, but they are not typically mistaken for measles or scarlet fever.
