What is fifth disease? There's an outbreak of fifth disease in my daughter's nursery. What is it? John Dr Trisha Macnair responds Fifth disease is a fairly common viral infection also known as erythema infectiosum or 'slapped cheek disease' (because the first symptom to appear is usually a bright red rash on the cheeks). It's mildly contagious and tends to occur in outbreaks, often in the spring, among toddlers and small children. The rash can last over a week The incubation period is quite long, so it can take between four and 14 days for symptoms to appear. A rash on the cheeks is the first sign, and is often made more obvious by a pale ring around the mouth. This is followed a few days later by a more widespread rash on the chest and abdomen spreading out to the limbs. This rash is red and blotchy (some describe it as lace-like, joining up with thin threads). Warm weather or a hot bath makes the rash more pronounced. It lasts up to ten days but sometimes recurs on and off for a few weeks. There's also a fever and sometimes pain in the joints. Once the rash has appeared the chances of passing the infection on is very low. Once a child has had the infection they're usually immune to it for the rest of their life.

Fifth Disease (Erythema Infectiosum) Fact Sheet What is erythema infectiosum? Erythema infectiosum is a viral illness caused by human parvovirus B19. It is also called fifth disease, derived from the assignment of numbers to the six most common childhood rash illnesses. In the United States, the prevalence of B19 antibodies ranges from 5% to 10% in children less than 5 years old to greater than 50% in adults. What are the symptoms of erythema infectiosum? The manifestation of B19 infection ranges from inapparent, asymptomatic infection to a two-phase illness. Mild symptoms consisting of a low grade fever, headache, and muscle aches may develop within a week after infection. Within roughly 10 days later, the characteristic slapped cheek rash develops. The rash may spread to the extremities. In adults, arthralgias and arthritis are the most common symptoms. Are there any complications to B19 infections? Generally, complete recovery is the rule. People with anemia such as sickle cell anemia are at risk for developing transient aplastic crisis (TAC). The aplasia generally lasts 7 to 10 days. Rash is often not present in children with TAC. If a woman is infected in the first half of pregnancy there is a risk of fetal infection. B19 infection in pregnancy can lead to hydrops fetalis (extensive edema of the fetus) and fetal death in less than 10% of infections. Infection in an immunocompromised person can lead to severe, chronic anemia. How is B19 spread?

93. Rye Brook OB/GYN - Fifth Disease And Pregnancy But if the blood test changes to positive for Parvovirus (fifth disease), then it is necessary Here is a condensed set of facts about fifth disease http://www.ryebrookobgyn.com/pateduc/fifth.htm

Q: I am 12 weeks pregnant, and my 5 year old has just been diagnosed with "Fifth Disease." What should I do? A: The first thing that should be done right away, in any pregnant patient, is a blood test for Parvovirus (Fifth Disease) titers. If this shows previous infection, nothing further needs to be done. The patient is immune, and - because of her antibodies - will be able to shield her unborn child from the infection. But if the test shows she is not immune, then a repeat blood test is done 2 weeks later to see if infection actually occurred. (It takes this amount of time to develop antibodies.) The "2 wk test" is done automatically as the presence or absence of symptoms is not a prerequisite. Unfortunately there may be no symptoms to signal that the patient had an infection. Even when the patient had some sort of "symptoms," it is of no help. They might well have been caused by a totally different virus. Only a blood test can really resolve the issue, and hence the reason why we do the test automatically. Please take some comfort in the fact that even without immunity, exposure to Parvovirus does not inevitably lead to infection.
