Table of Contents Erythema Infectiosum (Fifth Disease) Clinical Manifestations A mild infection caused by a human parvovirus (B19). It is characterized by a facial rash with a "slapped cheek" appearance and a lace-like rash on the trunk and extremities. Reddening of the skin may recur due to nonspecific stimuli such as temperature or sunlight. Low-grade fever and mild systemic symptoms may be seen. Transmission occurs primarily through contact with infectious respiratory secretions. Droplet contact and close person-to-person contact are the modes of transmission. In people with certain red blood cell abnormalities, such as sickle cell disease, this infection can cause an aplastic crisis. Infection with the virus can also cause chronic anemia in immunodeficient people. Infection is most common in school-aged children. Epidemics of the illness can occur in schools, usually in late winter and spring. Incubation Period From 4-14 days; can be as long as 21 days. Period of Communicability During the week prior to the appearance of the rash; by the time the rash appears, they are probably no longer infectious.

Public Health Division Department of Human Services Government of Victoria Australia home news ... about THE BLUE BOOK : Guidelines for the control of infectious diseases Contents Erythema Infectiosum (also known as 'Slapped Cheek Disease' and 'Fifth Disease') Victorian Statutory Requirement Notification is not required. School exclusion is not required. Infectious Agent Human parvovirus B19. Clinical Features Human parvovirus B19 infection causes a mild illness, with little or no fever but a striking redness of the cheeks (hence 'slapped cheek disease'). This is followed one to four days later by a lacy pink rash on the trunk and limbs that fades but may recur over several weeks on exposure to heat. The illness may also cause headache, itch and upper respiratory tract symptoms. In adults, the rash is often atypical or absent but pain, inflammation and swelling of joints may occur and, rarely, persist for months. Asymptomatic infection is common. Several groups of people are at particular risk from the effects of parvovirus infection on developing red blood cells. Persons with chronic haemolytic diseases (for example, sickle cell disease) may develop transient aplastic crises after parvovirus infection, and immunosuppressed persons may develop severe chronic anaemia. Adverse effects from parvovirus infection during pregnancy are uncommon, but infection of the foetus may cause foetal anaemia, hydrops foetalis and foetal death (in fewer than 10 per cent of cases of maternal infection). Parvovirus infection has been associated with spontaneous abortion, but does not appear to cause congenital abnormalities.

Fifth disease (Erythema Infectiosum) What is fifth disease? How does the infection start? Can fifth disease be dangerous? What can parents do? What is fifth disease? Fifth disease is an infection of the respiratory system. It is caused by a virus called parvovirus B19. This virus spreads the same way as a cold virus does: on the hands of someone who has the infection; on something that has been touched by someone who has the infection; in the air, after an infected person has breathed or sneezed. Outbreaks of fifth disease can occur in school-age children. There is no vaccine to prevent the infection and no medication to treat it. How does the infection start? The infection starts as a very red rash on the cheeks, making the face look like it has been slapped. One to four days later, a red, lace-like rash appears, first on the arms, and then on the rest of the body. The rash may last from one to three weeks and may be accompanied by fever. The illness is often very mild. Sometimes, the child may not even feel sick. Adults usually get a more severe case, with fever and painful joints. At least 50% of adults have had fifth disease in childhood and will not get it again if exposed to a child with the infection. Can fifth disease be dangerous?
