Over time, most of these numbers fell out of use, replaced by more popular names such as measles (known in the numbering system as first disease), scarlet fever (second disease), and rubella (third disease). The only one of these illnesses to which the number stuck, in fact, was erythema infectiosum, which sometimes still goes by the name fifth disease . Erythema infectiosum is a mild childhood infectionso mild, in fact, that a child can have it without the parents' even noticing. Its hallmarks include a fine, pink rash covering the trunk and limbs and bright, red patches on the cheeks. WHAT CAUSES FIFTH DISEASE? A highly contagious microorganism called parvovirus B19 has been identified as the source of fifth disease. Symptoms appear between four and 14 days after a child contracts the virus. The illness often occurs in epidemics during late winter and spring. During an epidemic, as many as half of the children in a school may contract erythema infectiosum.

Parvovirus B19 is a virus that commonly infects children. However, adults can catch it as well. You may be more familiar with it as "Fifth Disease" or "Slapped-Cheek Syndrome". What illnesses does Parvovirus B19 cause? Parvovirus B19 commonly causes a mild rash-like illness, usually in children. Children with Fifth Disease typically have a rash on their face, described as a "slapped-cheek" rash because of it's appearance. They may also have a lacy, red rash on their torso and limbs. In adults, Parvovirus B19 infection may result in symptoms such as joint pain and swelling (arthralgia). These symptoms are usually more common in adult women than in men. In general, these symptoms last for 2-4 weeks but they may persist for several months. However, many people with Parvovirus infections show no symptoms at all. People may simply be tired or have flu-like symptoms. Therefore the only way to know if a person has Parvovirus B19 infection is to have a test for it.

feedback sitemap kids health your baby`s development ... PDF Version Available Slapped cheek disease or Fifth disease Slapped cheek disease is a viral disease. It gets this name because, early in the infection, the child's cheeks may be bright red, as if they have been slapped. Other names for this illness are Fifth disease (there used to be six childhood rashes recognised at the turn of the century and this was the number five) and erythema infectiosum (Latin for infectious rash). What causes it? The causative virus is called parvovirus B 19. An Australian, Professor Yvonne Cossart first described this virus which is different from the parvovirus of dogs and cats. The virus is transmitted in droplets coughed out by infected children. Who gets it? Fifth disease mainly affects school and pre-school aged children, and not uncommonly causes outbreaks in schools. Most adults are immune, having already had the infection when they were children. What does it cause? In Fifth disease, children may get a runny nose, fever, aches and pains, and rash. At first the rash may be on the cheeks (slapped cheek appearance). After a few days a rash may be found on the arms, legs or trunk. It is pink, has a lacy appearance and may be itchy. It may fade easily, but re-appear after a bath or exercise. Older children and adults may sometimes get swollen joints (arthritis) which get better after a few days. Can the illness be serious?

About Medic8 SLAPPED CHEEK DISEASE (FIFTH DISEASE) - a patient's guide Dr Logan Mclennan - Family Doctor What is it? This is an infection causing a rash and mild illness mostly in children. It rarely affects babies. It was called fifth disease because in the pre-immunisation days it was described as being one of the five most common childhood infections. It is caused by a virus known as parvovirus B19 (first discovered in1975). Therefore treatments such as antibiotics are of no help. This is a human parvovirus not the same as the dog or cat parvoviruses. There is no specific treatment. It is thought that once a child has had the disease there is lifelong immunity. There is no vaccination against it. The main worry with the parvovirus B19 infection is that it can occasionally cause intrauterine death in pregnancy especially in the first half. This is a rare cause of intrauterine death. However prevention is a problem because children are infectious before the symptoms come out. However studies have shown that 50% to 70% of adults have immunity to parvovirus B19 from childhood infection, often without getting the symptoms.
