SUMMARY A 17‐year‐old girl is reported with a history of recurrent febrile episodes during her menstrual bleeding accompanied by a generalised exanthem. Increased plasma levels of unbound etiocholanolone were noticed during the febrile attacks. Both the fever and the skin eruption could be suppressed by oral contraceptives.
