ImmuNet Fifth Disease (Erythema Infectiosum) Fact Sheet PDF Version of this Fact Sheet Fifth disease is a mild rash illness It is caused by a human virus called parvovirus B19 and primarily affects school age children. Many people already have had fifth disease Most people get infected between 5 and 14 years of age. It is estimated that about half the adults in the United States have been infected with parvovirus B19 and therefore can not get it again. A red, patchy, "slapped cheek" rash on the face is common during infection The rash may appear on other parts of the body (such as the arms, trunk, buttocks, and thighs). Other symptoms such as fever, headache, body ache, sore throat, congestion, runny nose, cough, nausea, or diarrhea may come before the rash. In adults, joint pains or arthritis may occur. Symptoms usually start 4 to 20 days after a person has been exposed. About 25% of all cases have no symptoms.

Contacts Erythema infectiosum (human parvovirus infection or slapped cheek disease) Page content: Victorian statutory requirement Infectious agent Identification Incubation period ... Further information Victorian statutory requirement Notification and school exclusion are not required. Infectious agent The causative agent is human parvovirus B19. Identification Clinical features Asymptomatic infection with human parvovirus B19 is common. Parvovirus affects the development of red blood cells. As a result several groups of people are at increased risk of developing complications: infection in the first half of pregnancy can cause foetal anaemia with hydrops foetalis. Foetal death occurs in less than ten per cent of these cases persons with haemolytic anaemia may develop transient aplastic crises, often in the absence of a rash immunosuppressed persons may develop severe chronic anaemia. Method of diagnosis Diagnosis can be suspected on clinical grounds, particularly during outbreaks. However, confirmation depends on demonstrating the presence of specific IgM antibodies or seroconversion to specific IgG antibodies. Comparison of the current antibody status against pre-natal screening serology for parvovirus is often useful in pregnancy.

Urological Conditions Erythema Infectiosum From Our Sponsors WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW Erythema (air-uh-THEE-ma) infectiosum (in-fek-tee-OH-sum), also called Fifth disease, is an infection that mostly occurs in children. It usually starts with a rash on the face that spreads to other parts of the body. In most cases, it is mild and lasts for 5 to 10 days, although it can sometimes come and go for up to 5 weeks. It goes away by itself without care. Causes The problem is caused by a virus. It occurs most often during the spring. A pregnant woman who gets this infection can pass it on to her unborn child. Signs/Symptoms The first sign of the infection is a rash on the face that looks like the child has been slapped. After 1 or 2 days, the rash spreads to other parts of the body. The child may also have flu or cold symptoms such as a low fever, headache, runny nose, pain in the joints, sore throat, and cough. Some children get an upset stomach or may throw up. The rash may get brighter and itch after the child has been out in the sun and following exercise or a warm bath. Care There is no cure, and the symptoms usually go away on their own after about a week.

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.

Solutions A to Z Erythema Infectiosum (Fifth Disease) 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.
