I have a quick question... I remember reading that a "beefy red tongue" was pathognomic for something, but I can't remember what it is and it is driving me nuts. Please help!

Thanks

raspberry tongue, the dark red tongue with a glistening smooth surface and prominent filiform papillae seen after desquamation of the white coating characteristic of the early stage of scarlet fever. See also white strawberry t. Called also red strawberry t.

Yay google! (I forgot too)

- note I copied and pasted from somewhere, can't remember where as I'm too busy pretending to study

Thanks for the replies... any other ID thoughts? For some reason I was thinking it was ID related but not Strep.

Thanks again
