Erythema (air-uh-thee-muh) infectiosum (in-fek-t-o-sum) is also called fifth disease. It is a mild infection that is most common in children. It happens most often during winter and early spring and may last 5 to 10 days. Your child should feel well in 7 days. But it may come and go for up to 5 weeks. Causes: This infection is spread from person to person in the air by a germ called a virus. Signs and Symptoms: First signs may be a low fever, headache, chills, muscle aches, or tiredness. About 7 days later, your child may have a bright red rash on the cheeks. The red cheeks will go away in 1 to 4 days and then may spread to other parts of the body. The rash may itch and may come and go many times over 1 to 3 weeks. It may also get brighter and itch after exercising, being in the sun, or after a warm bath.

Adult Medicine General Health Acne Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia ... Information Erythema Infectiosum: Fifth Disease Basic Facts: Fifth's disease is also called Erythema Infectiosum or "slapped cheek disease". It is an infection caused by the human Parvovirus B19. Although there are animal parvoviruses, Parvovirus B19 infects only humans. A person cannot catch parvovirus from an animal. It is called fifth disease because it is number five of six classic exanthemas, or rash-associated diseases, of childhood. The other five are: Measles Scarlet fever Rubella Duke's disease (which is now thought to have been another form of either measles, scarlet fever, a Staphylococcal infection, or one of several unspecified enteroviral infections) Roseola It has also been referred to in the past as "Hungarian Measles" although the rash itself does not resemble measles. Symptoms: Fifth disease usually starts with cold symptoms such as a runny nose, and respiratory ailments and can include: Malaise: a general feeling of illness or sickness without any specific diagnostic significance Fever: occurs in approximately one-third of patients, and is usually low-grade.

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? Four to twenty (4-20) days 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?

North East Valley Division of General Practice , Victoria, Australia. Erythema Infectiosum (Human Parvovirus B19 Infection) also known as "Slapped face disease" and "Fifth disease" Victorian Statutory Requirement Notification is not required School exclusion is not required Infectious agent Clinical features: Human parvovirus B19 infection causes a mild illness with little or no fever but a striking redness of the cheeks (hence "slapped face disease"), followed one to four days later by a lacy pink rash on the trunk and limbs which 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 (eg. 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% of cases of maternal infection). Parvovirus infection has been associated with spontaneous abortion, but does not appear to cause congenital abnormalities

The Topic of This Month Vol.19 No.3(No.217) Erythema infectiosum Erythema infectiosum (EI), also called the fifth disease, is a contagious exanthematous disease affecting mainly children. Erythema developing on the cheek and multiformic erythema then developing on the superior and inferior limbs coalesce gradually, resulting in such characteristic erythema that is expressed as lacy, mesh-like, or ring form. The etiological agent of this disease was proposed to be human parvovirus B19 (B19) by the group of the British Public Health Laboratory Service in 1983 (CDSC, CDR, 83/23). The causal relation between B19 and EI has been confirmed by the subsequent investigations. As the etiological agent has been verified, it has also been found that there are many cases of atypical exanthema and asymptomatic cases around EI patients, and that there are varieties of clinical manifestations and blood-borne infection may occur, although droplet infection is most common in EI. The National Epidemiological Surveillance of Infectious Diseases (NESID) has been collecting reports on EI from sentinel clinics since July 1981. Before that, there used to be small-scale epidemics in spring toward early summer in 10-year periods, and nation-wide epidemics were confirmed in 1980. The recent epidemics have been in five-year periods as shown in Fig. 1
