Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Koplik's spots are a classic symptom of measles, a highly contagious viral infection. They typically appear on the buccal mucosa (inside of the cheek) and are diagnostic of the disease. Mumps and chickenpox are both caused by different viruses and do not produce Koplik's spots. Flavivirus infections can cause a range of symptoms, but Koplik's spots are not specific to this group of viruses.
