Extractions: Dr. Reddy's Pediatric Office on the Web TM Erythema infectiosum, or "fifth disease", is a common infection of childhood caused by a virus. The term "fifth disease" does not refer to someone named "Fifth", but rather to the fifth of six classic exanthems , or rash-associated diseases, of childhood. The numbering is of historic interest only: the other examthems, in order are first: measles ; second: scarlet fever; third: rubella ; fourth: "Dukes' disease" , which was never clearly distinguished from other rash-producing diseases and is now thought to have been either measles, rubella, scarlet fever, a Staphylococcal infection, or one of several unspecified enteroviral infections; and sixth: roseola The virus responsible for erythema infectiosum is parvovirus B19 , a virus that lives only in humans. It seems to be transmitted mainly by body fluids, including droplets produced when you cough or sneeze but also including blood. Symptoms usually appear within 4 days to 2 weeks after exposure, but may take as long as 3 weeks. The virus seems to be less contagious once the rash appears (so children with the rash can go to school or day-care without exposing others).

Extractions: Especially common in children between the ages of 5 and 15, fifth disease typically produces a distinctive red rash on the face that makes the child appear to have a slapped cheek. The rash then spreads to the trunk, arms, and legs. Despite being called a "disease," fifth disease is actually just a viral illness that the majority of children will recover from - with no complications - in a short period of time. Fifth disease (also called erythema infectiosum) is caused by parvovirus B19. A human virus, parvovirus B19 is not the same parvovirus that veterinarians may be concerned about in pets, especially dogs, and it cannot be passed from humans to animals or vice versa. Studies show that although 40% to 60% of adults worldwide have laboratory evidence of a past parvovirus B19 infection, most of these adults can't remember having had symptoms of fifth disease. This leads medical experts to believe that most people with a B19 infection have either very mild symptoms or no symptoms at all. Fifth disease occurs everywhere in the world. Outbreaks of parvovirus tend to happen in the late winter and early spring, but there may also be sporadic cases of the disease any time throughout the year.

Extractions: Home Viral Fifth disease is a common childhood infection causing a slapped cheek appearance and a rash. It is also known as erythema infectiosum Fifth disease is caused by Parvovirus B19 . It most commonly affects young children and often occurs in several members of the family or school class. Thirty percent of infected individuals have no symptoms. Family affected by parvovirus The child is usually otherwise quite well, but occasionally has a slight fever and headache. The first sign is firm red cheeks, which feel burning hot. A rash follows 1 to 4 days later with a lace or network pattern on the limbs and then the trunk. Although most prominent in the first few days, the rash can persist at least intermittently for up to six weeks. Rarely fifth disease results in complications. Arthritis in infected adults Aplastic crisis in patients with blood disorders (potentially dangerous low blood cell count) Intrauterine death (9%) or hydrops fetalis in 3% of the offspring of infected pregnant women can occur if the infection occurs in the first half of pregnancy. However, congenital malformations do not occur. As the risk of an adverse outcome is very low, the infection is not routinely screened for in pregnancy.

http://www.medicinenet.com/fifth_disease/article.htm

Extractions: Fifth disease is a temporary illness caused by a virus known as parvovirus B 19. Fifth disease (also known as "erythema infectiosum" and "slap cheek") is so named because in the pre-vaccination era, it was frequently the "fifth disease" that a child would develop. About 50% of adults have been infected with the virus but do not remember having it because it often does not cause symptoms. What are the symptoms of fifth disease? Fifth disease generally occurs in children between 5-15 years of age, but can affect any age group, including adults. It most commonly occurs during the winter and spring. The illness begins with a low-grade fever and malaise (a sense of not feeling well). This is followed by a characteristic bright red rash on the cheeks (the so called "slapped cheeks" rash). Finally, a fine, red, lace-like rash can develop over the rest of the body. This rash may last for 5 days to a week and occasionally comes and goes for up to 3 weeks. The other symptoms are usually gone by the time the rash appears.
