Outbreaks most often occur in winter and spring, but a person may become ill with fifth disease at any time of the year. Symptoms begin with a mild fever and complaints of tiredness. After a few days, the cheeks take on a flushed appearance that looks like the face has been slapped. There may also be a lacy rash on the trunk, arms, and legs. Not all infected persons develop a rash. Most persons who get fifth disease are not very ill and recover without any serious consequences. However, children with sickle cell anemia, chronic anemia, or an impaired immune system may become seriously ill when infected with parvovirus B19 and require medical care. If a pregnant woman becomes infected with parvovirus B19, the fetus may suffer damage, including the possibility of stillbirth. The woman herself may have no symptoms or a mild illness with rash or joint pains.

[View All Articles] Fifth Disease What you need to know: Fifth disease (erythema infectiosum) is a common, mild, childhood illness caused by parvovirus B19. It causes a “slapped-cheek” rash on the face and, less commonly, fever, headache, sore throat and joint pain in children. Infected adults often have joint pain and swelling, and sometimes mild flu-like symptoms, but usually no rash. Women with young children and those who work with them (for example, child care providers and teachers) are at greatest risk of exposure and infection. About 60 percent of adults have had the infection as children and, therefore, are immune as adults. Most unborn babies are unaffected if their mother gets infected. Some unborn babies, however, do become infected. The virus can disrupt the ability to produce red blood cells, leading to a dangerous form of anemia, heart failure and, in about 2-9 percent of fetal infections, death of the unborn child. What you can do: If you are pregnant and unsure of your immune status, you can help protect yourself from infection by:

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.
