Dr. Reddy's Pediatric Office on the Web TM Erythema Infectiosum (Fifth Disease) Erythema infectiosum, or "fifth disease", is a common infection of childhood caused by a virus. The term "fifth disease" does not refer to someone named "Fifth", but rather to the fifth of six classic exanthems , or rash-associated diseases, of childhood. The numbering is of historic interest only: the other examthems, in order are first: measles ; second: scarlet fever; third: rubella ; fourth: "Dukes' disease" , which was never clearly distinguished from other rash-producing diseases and is now thought to have been either measles, rubella, scarlet fever, a Staphylococcal infection, or one of several unspecified enteroviral infections; and sixth: roseola The virus responsible for erythema infectiosum is parvovirus B19 , a virus that lives only in humans. It seems to be transmitted mainly by body fluids, including droplets produced when you cough or sneeze but also including blood. Symptoms usually appear within 4 days to 2 weeks after exposure, but may take as long as 3 weeks. The virus seems to be less contagious once the rash appears (so children with the rash can go to school or day-care without exposing others).

Erythema infectiosum is also called 'slapped cheek disease' or 'fifth disease'. It is a viral infection that predominantly affects children between the ages of 5 and 15. Parents, or people working with children, are also liable to infection. The most striking symptom is a red rash on the cheeks. There is no cure - in time the infection goes. How is erythema infectiosum contracted? Erythema infectiosum is caused by a virus called parvovirus B19. The virus is transferred from one person to another via airborne droplets from the nose and throat, for example when coughing or sneezing. An infected pregnant woman can transfer the virus to her unborn baby. The incubation period for parvovirus B19 is between one and three weeks and the person will be infectious for about a week before the illness actually becomes apparent. By the time symptoms are present, the person is no longer infectious.

Site map Search: Home Viral Fifth disease Fifth disease is a common childhood infection causing a slapped cheek appearance and a rash. It is also known as erythema infectiosum Fifth disease is caused by Parvovirus B19 . It most commonly affects young children and often occurs in several members of the family or school class. Thirty percent of infected individuals have no symptoms. Family affected by parvovirus The child is usually otherwise quite well, but occasionally has a slight fever and headache. The first sign is firm red cheeks, which feel burning hot. A rash follows 1 to 4 days later with a lace or network pattern on the limbs and then the trunk. Although most prominent in the first few days, the rash can persist at least intermittently for up to six weeks. Complications Rarely fifth disease results in complications. Arthritis in infected adults Aplastic crisis in patients with blood disorders (potentially dangerous low blood cell count) Intrauterine death (9%) or hydrops fetalis in 3% of the offspring of infected pregnant women can occur if the infection occurs in the first half of pregnancy. However, congenital malformations do not occur. As the risk of an adverse outcome is very low, the infection is not routinely screened for in pregnancy.

Iowa Health Book: Pediatrics Erythema Infectiosum (Fifth Disease) Noni E. MacDonald, M.D., F.R.C.P.C. Pediatric Infectious Diseases Journal Peer Review Status: Externally reviewed by Pediatric Infectious Diseases Journal Creation Date: Unknown Last Revision Date: Unknown Fifth Disease, Slapped Cheek Disease, Academy Rash General information Erythema infectiosum is a common disease of school children characterized by a red rash on the cheeks followed by a lacy rash on the arms and legs. It usually causes very little illness although adolescents sometimes have mild joint pains or swelling. Erythema infectiosum was given the name "fifth disease" because it was the fifth of the childhood rashes (measles, German measles, etc.) to be described. The disease is caused by parvovirus B19. It is spread by direct contact with infected mucus from the nose or mouth or by inhaling droplets coughed or sneezed into the air. Illness starts from 4 to 18 days after exposure. Because of the close and prolonged contact between students, epidemics of fifth disease are common in primary schools and academies. The illness Fifth disease rash sometimes begins with no illness at all but usually starts with 3 or 4 days of low grade fever and symptoms of a mild cold. This is followed in several days by the appearance of a bright red, raised rash which covers the cheeks, making them look as if they had been slapped. The area around the mouth is usually not involved. After another 1 to 3 days a pink, blotchy and often itchy rash appears on the upper part of the arms and legs, spreading to the trunk and buttocks. As it fades, the rash develops a lace-like or "net-like" appearance which can last for 5 to 10 days. Once cleared, it may reappear for several weeks or months if the skin becomes flushed from exercise, sunlight or a warm bath.
