Contents Role in hydrops fetalis and stillbirth Recommendations Conclusion References The recent observation that parvovirus infection during pregnancy can cause spontaneous abortion has raised concern among many pregnant women, particularly when there is an epidemic of erythema infectiosum in the community. This article reviews the pertinent scientific information and suggests management guidelines for physicians who are confronted with this problem. Erythema infectiosum, or fifth disease, is the commonest manifestation of parvovirus B19 infection. It usually presents as a mild febrile illness with a maculopapular rash of variable intensity. The early rosy to bright red "slapped cheek" appearance may be overlooked. Eventually a lacy, net-like erythema develops that may affect the face, arms and trunk. In adults the rash is less common, but infection may involve the joints.

About Sponsorship Opportunities Questions Comments ... Guide to Medical Care Erythema Infectiosum 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.

Home Skin conditions Fifth disease 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. Fifth disease 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. Complications 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. Lace pattern of rash on arm Slap cheeks Diagnosis The characteristic slapped cheek and lacy rash in a child who is otherwise well usually make the diagnosis. The parvovirus can cause other rashes such as a "glove-and-stocking" rash. In case of doubt, a blood test can be done to confirm the presence of parvovirus infection. If the child is unwell, or has a blood disease, a full blood count should be performed.

Fifth disease (Erythema Infectiosum) What is fifth disease? How does the infection start? Can fifth disease be dangerous? What can parents do? What is fifth disease? 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? The infection starts as a very red rash on the cheeks, making the face look like it has been slapped. One to four days later, a red, lace-like rash appears, first on the arms, and then on the rest of the body. The rash may last from one to three weeks and may be accompanied by fever. The illness is often very mild. Sometimes, the child may not even feel sick. Adults usually get a more severe case, with fever and painful joints. At least 50% of adults have had fifth disease in childhood and will not get it again if exposed to a child with the infection. Can fifth disease be dangerous?

Table of Contents Erythema Infectiosum (Fifth Disease) Clinical Manifestations A mild infection caused by a human parvovirus (B19). It is characterized by a facial rash with a "slapped cheek" appearance and a lace-like rash on the trunk and extremities. Reddening of the skin may recur due to nonspecific stimuli such as temperature or sunlight. Low-grade fever and mild systemic symptoms may be seen. Transmission occurs primarily through contact with infectious respiratory secretions. Droplet contact and close person-to-person contact are the modes of transmission. In people with certain red blood cell abnormalities, such as sickle cell disease, this infection can cause an aplastic crisis. Infection with the virus can also cause chronic anemia in immunodeficient people. Infection is most common in school-aged children. Epidemics of the illness can occur in schools, usually in late winter and spring. Incubation Period From 4-14 days; can be as long as 21 days. Period of Communicability During the week prior to the appearance of the rash; by the time the rash appears, they are probably no longer infectious.

Videos ABOUT US Healthcommunities.com Pressroom Testimonials Erythema infectiosum, also known as fifth disease, is a viral infection that mainly occurs in childhood, usually as an epidemic associated with outbreaks in schools. Causes Erythema infectiosum is caused by parvovirus B19. It is believed to be primarily transmitted by the respiratory route (the B19 virus has been isolated from respiratory secretions during the contagious phase). Once the rash appears, the child is no longer contagious. About one-half of adults are immune to the infection due to previous exposure. Signs and Symptoms The incubation period ranges from 1 to 2 weeks. Elevated quantities of the virus are found in the blood and secretions for about 1 to 2 weeks after exposure. During this time, low-grade fever and malaise may be present. About 2 weeks after exposure, a characteristic rash appears, in three stages. First a “slapped check”, or “sunburned” appearance on the child’s face occurs. Second, pink, slightly elevated bumps appear on the arms and legs. Finally, after several days, the rash begins to fade, and an overall lacy or marble-like pattern occurs. This last phase of the rash is highly diagnostic of fifth disease. The lacy rash typically resolves in 1 1/2 weeks but can persist more than 3 weeks. After apparent resolution, it may resurface, especially during hot weather. There are some reports of itching.
