A B C D ... W ERYTHEMA INFECTIOSUM - SLAPPED CHEEK DISEASE - FIFTH DISEASE What is Erythema Infectiosum ? Slapped cheek syndrome is an infectious disease of children. It shows as a deep red rash on the face that may be on one side or both. It actually looks like a slap mark on the face, hence the name. Your doctor may use the medical term, which is erythema infectiosum. Another name is "fifth disease", because it is a childhood infection that is neither of the four common infective skin rashes : measles, German measles, scarlet fever or roseola. Slapped cheek syndrome affects only children. It occurs in small outbreaks. The rash will rapidly spread down the body and then fade. Most children are only very slightly unwell. They may have a fever and some get joint pains. The illness may come and go for a while, and sunlight and changes in temperature can start it off again. The incubation period is up to 14 days. When the rash appears the child is no longer infectious. How does Erythema Infectiosum occur ? Slapped cheek syndrome is caused by infection with a virus (a very small germ) called parvovirus B19. It spreads from person to person by coughs, sneezes, kissing and close contact. This is called "droplet spread" because the virus travels in drops of saliva. The illness will rapidly spread round schools and nurseries.

PatientPlus articles are written for doctors and so the language can be technical. However, some people find that they add depth to the articles found in the other sections of this website which are written for non-medical people. Erythema Infectiosum (Fifth Disease) Synonyms: Slapped Cheek Disease, Fifth disease, Parvovirus B19 (PV-B19), slapped cheek syndrome, Sticker's disease. Incidence Peaks occur every 4-7 years, usually late winter or early spring; mainly in school or nursery children. 40% of adults are not immune, although childhood infection appears to give lifelong immunity. Aetiology This is a common childhood exanthem caused by human Parvovirus B19 (PV-B19). Incubation 4-14 days (max 20 days). Passed by droplet spread (reduced by hand washing). Can be passed transplacentally and via blood products. Infectivity - at any time during incubation period, greatest prior to appearance of rash (much less infectious once rash appears so restricting them from attending school is not necessary by the time the diagnosis is made). Presentation Mild self-limiting infection (30% of infections are asymptomatic); non-specific "flu-like" illness, fever, coryza, headache, sore throat, malaise. The first sign is usually the classic red "malar" or "slapped cheek" rash appearing on cheeks. Subsequently it may spread to the rest of the body as an erythematous macular-to-morbilliform eruption occurs primarily on the extremities, fading to a lacy pattern on the proximal extremities before resolving. Adults may develop a symmetrical arthralgia (hands, wrists, knees, and ankles).
