Erythema Infectiosum (Fifth Disease)
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).

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.

Erythema infectiosum
Den 5. barnesykdom, også kalt erythema infectiosum, er en vanlig infeksjonssykdom i barneårene, som forårsakes av parvovirus. Det er ikke uvanlig at flere av barna i familien presenterer det samme utslettet
Sykdommen har vanligvis et mildt forløp, men kan ledsages av feber og litt hodepine. Det første tegnet er røde kinn, som gir assosiasjon til det vi i”gamle” dager kalte en ørefik. Noen få dager etter utvikles et erytem med nettverk mønster på armer og av og til på kroppen. Utslettet kan bestå i uker.
Det er ingen behandling for den 5. barnesykdom. Sykdommen smitter som regel ikke etter at utslettet har debutert.

Free Site Templates About Erythema Infectiosum Touching the derivation of the name Erythema Infectiosum, I confess myself, with sorrow, equally at fault. Among a multitude of opinions upon this delicate point- some acute, some learned, some sufficiently the reverse I am able to select nothing which ought to be considered satisfactory.

Victorian Statutory Requirement
Notification is not required. School exclusion is not required.
Infectious Agent
Human parvovirus B19.
Clinical Features
Human parvovirus B19 infection causes a mild illness, with little or no fever but a striking redness of the cheeks (hence 'slapped cheek disease'). This is followed one to four days later by a lacy pink rash on the trunk and limbs that fades but may recur over several weeks on exposure to heat. The illness may also cause headache, itch and upper respiratory tract symptoms. In adults, the rash is often atypical or absent but pain, inflammation and swelling of joints may occur and, rarely, persist for months. Asymptomatic infection is common. Several groups of people are at particular risk from the effects of parvovirus infection on developing red blood cells. Persons with chronic haemolytic diseases (for example, sickle cell disease) may develop transient aplastic crises after parvovirus infection, and immunosuppressed persons may develop severe chronic anaemia. Adverse effects from parvovirus infection during pregnancy are uncommon, but infection of the foetus may cause foetal anaemia, hydrops foetalis and foetal death (in fewer than 10 per cent of cases of maternal infection). Parvovirus infection has been associated with spontaneous abortion, but does not appear to cause congenital abnormalities.

What is erythema infectiosum?
Erythema infectiosum is also called 'slapped cheek disease' or 'fifth disease'. It is a viral infection that predominantly affects children between the ages of 5 and 15. Parents, or people working with children, are also liable to infection.
The most striking symptom is a red rash on the cheeks. There is no cure - in time the infection goes.
How is erythema infectiosum contracted?
Erythema infectiosum is caused by a virus called parvovirus B19. The virus is transferred from one person to another via airborne droplets from the nose and throat, for example when coughing or sneezing. An infected pregnant woman can transfer the virus to her unborn baby.
The incubation period for parvovirus B19 is between one and three weeks and the person will be infectious for about a week before the illness actually becomes apparent. By the time symptoms are present, the person is no longer infectious.

FIFTH DISEASE (Erythema Infectiosum) What is Fifth Disease? This is a mildly contagious viral infection. It is called Fifth Disease because it was the 5 th illness to be described exhibiting a rash similar to several other infections (others included measles, rubella and scarlet fever). What causes it?
A virus called Parvovirus B-19. Epidemics of this illness occur most often in the Spring. Who gets it and what does it look like? This is predominantly an illness which affects school-aged children. It is rare in infants and adults, but can occur. There may be mild systemic symptoms such as fever (in only 15-30%), fatigue, muscle aches, sore throat, joint pain (especially adults), congestion or headache. If they occur at all, these symptoms usually precede the rash by 7-10 days. Not all patients develop the rash. What is the treatment?

NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH Fifth Disease (erythema infectiosum, parvovirus B19 infections) What is fifth disease? 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. When and for how long is a person able to spread the disease?

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?

  • More columns by Canadian Paediatric Society Fifth disease is an infection of the respiratory system. It is caused by a virus called parvovirus B19. This virus spreads the same way as a cold virus does:
    • on the hands of someone who has the infection;
    • on something that has been touched by someone who has the infection;
    • in the air, after an infected person has breathed or sneezed.
    Outbreaks of fifth disease can occur in school-age children. There is no vaccine to prevent the infection and no medication to treat it. How does the infection start?
