Extractions: Fifth disease, or erythema infectiousum is a common childhood illness caused by the human parvovirus B19 . It is also called ' slapped cheeks ' disease, because of the distinctive rash that accompanies this illness. Symptoms are usually mild, and if present, can include a runny nose, sore throat, headache and a low grade fever. About 7-10 days later, your child may develop a very red rash on both of his cheeks, with a pale area around his mouth, giving the appearance that his cheeks have been slapped. These red patches may be warm to the touch, but will be nontender. Next, a red or pink

Extractions: Around the turn of the century, doctors began numbering contagious diseases that produce somewhat similar rashes. 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.

fifth disease or Parvovirus B19 What is Parvovirus B19? You may be more familiar with it as fifth disease or SlappedCheek Syndrome .
http://www.biotrin.ie/patient/fifthdisease.htm

Extractions: 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.

Is it contagious? Should I call the doctor? ... How can I prevent my child from catching this virus? My child's cheeks are suddenly bright red. What's causing this? It could be fifth disease, also known as "slapped cheeks disease." Fifth disease got its name because it was the fifth identified red rash disease common in childhood. The other four are scarlet fever measles rubella , and roseola. This relatively mild illness is caused by the human parvovirus B19, and is most common in preschool- and school-aged children. Babies and adults can get it, but that's rare. Babies are protected from most common childhood diseases up until the age of 8 months or so by the antibodies they received from their mother in the womb. What are the symptoms of fifth disease? Your child's cheeks will be red, as if they've actually been slapped. A lacy red rash may appear on his trunk and extremities, and it may be itchy. He may run a slight fever, ache all over, or appear to be coming down with a cold . The rash should disappear in seven to 10 days. In rare cases a child will feel joint pain, but this is much more common in adults. Not every child infected with the virus will get sick. About 20 percent of infected children and adults have no symptoms at all.

Germs are easily passed from one child to another, which means an increased risk for illnesses. While the common cold, diarrhea, the flu and chicken pox are the most common, there is one childhood disease that keeps a low profile and can affect adults as well. Fifth disease, or erythema infectiosum, is a viral infection that is caused by a human parvovirus (B19). This virus is one that lives only in humans. Although it rarely produces serious results in those who suffer from it, it can be a very painful and lengthy illness. Contracting Fifth Disease "It seems to be transmitted mainly by body fluids," says Dr. Vinay N. Reddy of Bloomfield, Mich. "Usually it is by breathing tiny droplets exhaled or coughed out by someone who's infected. It can also be transmitted by contact with blood from an infected person." According to the New York State Department of Health, it can take up to two weeks after exposure for some children to start noticing symptoms related to the infection.

Extractions: "Slap-Cheek Syndrome" Summary: The "Fifth" disease is so called because its rash is similar to four previously described illnesses; Rubella, measles, scarlet fever, and Filatov-Dukes. Erythema Infectiosum is the clinical manifestation of human parvovirus disease; parvovirus B19. Typically found in elementary school age children, it is transmitted by airborne droplets. Sneezing and coughing is the main mode of transmission. Incubation period is a week. By the time the rash appears, the infectious stage has passed. Typically no school is missed because by the time the symptoms appear, the child is no longer infectious. Contact a Health Care Professional Immediately: If you are pregnant and exposed to Fifth disease, see your health care provider immediately. Source of Infection/ Mode of Transmission: Fifth Disease is transmitted by airborne droplets. Sneezing and coughing is the main mode of transmission. Symptoms: An adult may or may not have this Slap-Cheek appearance. Almost always adult symptoms include rash, fever, and joint pain.

Fifth disease is a contagious viral illness that is much more common in children than adults. It is also known as "slapped cheek disease" because of the distinctive rash some people develop. Fifth disease is spread mostly by coughs and sneezes. Generally, people can spread fifth disease only when flu-like symptoms are present and before a rash develops. Some people with fifth disease, such as those who have certain blood disorders or impaired immune systems , may be contagious for extended periods. What causes fifth disease? Fifth disease is caused by a virus called human parvovirus B19. What are the symptoms? Symptoms develop 4 to 14 days after exposure to the virus. Initial symptoms usually resemble a mild flu, sometimes followed by a bright red rash on the face, and later a blotchy rash on the body. The rash usually fades within 2 to 5 days and may reappear with exposure to sunlight, warm temperatures, or stress.

Fifth disease is a viral infection which often affects red blood cells. It is caused by a human parvovirus (B19). For many years fifth disease was viewed as an unimportant rash illness of children. Recently studies have shown that the virus may be responsible for serious complications in certain individuals. Who gets fifth disease? Anyone can be infected, but the disease seems to occur more often in elementary school-age children. How is the virus spread? The virus is spread by exposure to airborne droplets from the nose and throat of infected people. What are the symptoms and when do they appear? One to two weeks after exposure, some children will experience a low grade fever and tiredness. By the third week, a red rash generally appears on the cheeks giving a slapped face appearance. The rash may then extend to the body and tends to fade and reappear. Sometimes, the rash is lacy in appearance and may be itchy. Some children may have vague signs of illness or no symptoms at all.

It is spread from one child to another through direct contact with discharge from the nose and throat. It can also be spread through contact with infected blood. It is moderately contagious and usually does not include a high fever, as is seen with some other viral skin conditions. What causes fifth disease? Fifth disease is caused by the human parvovirus. It is most prevalent in the winter and spring and is usually seen in children 5 to 14 years of age. Outbreaks of the disease frequently occur in school settings. What are the symptoms of fifth disease? It may take between four to 14 days for the child to develop symptoms of fifth disease after being exposed to the disease. Children are most contagious before the rash occurs. Therefore, children may be contagious before they even know they have the disease. Also, about 20 percent of people with the virus do not have symptoms but can still spread the disease. The following are the most common symptoms of fifth disease. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include: There may be an early phase with the following symptoms, although this is not very common. If present, symptoms may include the following:

http://www.chw.edu.au/parents/factsheets/slappedj.htm

Extractions: PDF Version Available 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). 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. 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. 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?

http://www.medic8.com/healthguide/articles/slappedcheekdis.html

Extractions: 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.
