Extractions: 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.

Extractions: What is fifth disease? Fifth disease is a viral illness that is associated with exanthem. Exanthem is another name for a rash or skin eruption. It is spread from one child to another through direct contact with discharge from the nose and throat. It can also be spread through contact with infected blood. It is moderately contagious and usually does not include a high fever, as is seen with some other viral skin conditions. What causes fifth disease? Fifth disease is caused by the human parvovirus. It is most prevalent in the winter and spring and is usually seen in children 5 to 14 years of age. Outbreaks of the disease frequently occur in school settings. What are the symptoms of fifth disease? It may take between four to 14 days for the child to develop symptoms of fifth disease after being exposed to the disease. Children are most contagious before the rash occurs. Therefore, children may be contagious before they even know they have the disease. Also, about 20 percent of people with the virus do not have symptoms but can still spread the disease. The following are the most common symptoms of fifth disease. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include: There may be an early phase with the following symptoms, although this is not very common. If present, symptoms may include the following:

Fifth disease is caused by human parvovirus B19. It often affects preschoolers or school-age children during the spring. The disease is spread by contact with respiratory secretions and usually lasts for five days. However, the rash associated with fifth disease may recur for several weeks afterwards. Recurrences may be brought on by exposure to sunlight, heat, exercise fever , or emotional stress The first sign of the disease noticed by parents is usually bright red cheeks, which look as though the child has been recently slapped on both sides of the face. Following this, a rash appears on the extremities and trunk. The rash fades from the center outwards, giving it a lacy appearance. Over a period of 1-2 weeks, the rash disappears entirely. This illness is also sometimes associated with fever. Infection of a pregnant woman can harm the fetus. Although the risk of fetal harm is small, if a pregnant woman believes that she may have been in contact with a person who has parvovirus, she should consult with her physician.

Extractions: Can fifth disease be prevented? What is fifth disease? It's one of five common contagious childhood ailments that cause fever and a rash. After doctors figured out what to call measles, rubella, roseola, and scarlet fever, they apparently ran out of catchy names and called the fifth disease just that. Its technical name is erythema infectiosum, but the illness does have a more colorful moniker: "slapped-cheeks disease." That's because after the contagious period has passed, children with fifth disease often develop an angry red rash on their cheeks. This fades to a pink lacy pattern as it spreads to the torso, arms, thighs, and buttocks. Physical activity or bathing can worsen the rash, which may itch. Occasionally a child may have joint pain with the rash, requiring medical attention. The actual illness precedes the rash by seven to 10 days and is usually so mild that parents barely take note of it. Its symptoms include a fever (usually below 103 degrees F) that may be accompanied by a headache, reddish eyes, fatigue, and a sore throat. In some cases, however, there are no symptoms at all.

Extractions: Erythema infectiosum is a mild illness caused by Parvovirus B19. It is usually non-febrile. Severe complications resulting from this illness are rare although persons with chronic blood disorders who also get fifth's disease may develop an inability to form new blood cells (Erythrocytes). Women who are exposed to the disease during pregnancy are at risk as the virus can infect the unborn child, which may result in death of the fetus. How do you get it? Fifth disease initially starts with a low grade fever and fatigue. A striking red rash (which looks much like a slap mark) may appear on the cheeks. A fine (lace-like) rash may then appear on the body. Sometimes the rash may be itchy. Some children may have mild signs of illness or no symptoms at all. When do symptoms start?

Extractions: University of Iowa Fifth disease is caused by a virus and results in a rash on the face and upper body. The rash first appears on the cheeks, making the person look like he or she has been slapped. The facial rash feels hot and sometimes it itches. After a few days, the rash can spread to the upper body and arms in a lacy pattern. Another symptom is mild fatigue. Many people have no symptoms other than the rash. Fifth disease can last from a few days to several weeks. Symptoms usually appear two to three weeks after the patient has been exposed. School age children get Fifth disease most often. Adults can also catch it, but they may not have the rash at all. It is thought that once you have had Fifth disease you are immune and can not get it again. Fifth disease is spread by tiny droplets of water from the nose and throat of someone who has the infection. The droplets of water are spread when a person sneezes or coughs. People who have Fifth disease are thought to be the most contagious during the week before the rash starts to show. After the rash appears, the person is no longer contagious.

Extractions: What is Fifth disease? Fifth disease is a mild rash illness that is generally found in children. The ailment produces mild fever and fatigue. There is also a red rash that appears on the cheeks, giving what is often called a "slapped face" appearance. The rash can extend down onto the body and may fade and reappear later. The rash may or may not cause itching. Adults may also contract Fifth disease. About fifty percent of adults have, at some point, come into contact with the virus that causes the disease, Parvovirus B19. This exposure generally causes immunity in those persons. An adult who is not immune may become infected with parvovirus B19 and develop the same rash as children who are infected. Adults may also experience joint pain and swelling or no symptoms at all when infected. Fifth disease is contagious in its first stages, before the rash develops. By the time the rash appears, the contagious stage is normally over. bodyOffer(31816) Individuals may become infected with the parvovirus B19 by exposure to the saliva, nasal mucus or sputum of infected persons. The stage before the rash appears may appear to be the beginning of a cold, carrying many of the same symptoms. Sharing drinking glasses and eating utensils can help to spread the virus. In elementary schools, there may be Fifth disease outbreaks where over half of students contract the disease within a short period. In cases such as these, pregnant employees and people with chronic red blood cell disorders are urged to consult physicians or health departments for proper treatment advice.

Extractions: Nightime Pediatrics Clinic, Inc.® 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. The rash typically begins as intense facial redness, which is predominantly on the cheeks, and can be mottled. It is commonly described as looking like "slapped cheeks", which is why some people refer to the illness by this term ("slapped cheek disease"). This is followed by a symmetric, lace-like rash on the top surfaces of the arms, and less on the trunk, buttocks and thighs. The rash may itch slightly, but does not hurt or blister. The unusual thing about this illness that often concerns parents is that this rash may persist for so long. It can last from 2 days to more than 1 month (the average is 11 days). Even more curious is that it can seem to disappear, only to reappear and fluctuate in intensity with changes in the environment, such as heat or sun exposure, warm baths, exercise, or rubbing of the skin. This is all NORMAL!

Extractions: Fifth disease (human parvovirus infection, parvovirus B19 infection, slapped cheek, slapped face, erythema infectiosum) Fifth disease is a viral infection caused by the human parvovirus B19.Symptoms, when they occur, include mild fever, cough and running nose, which may or may not be followed by a rash. The rash starts as a redness of the cheeks (slapped cheek syndrome) and then spreads in a lace-like pattern over the neck, trunk and limbs. The rash comes and goes, often in response to heat, for several weeks. Joint pain is common in infected adults, especially women. At least 20% of infected people have no symptoms. Fifth disease is generally a mild illness. However, if a pregnant woman is infected during the first 20 weeks of pregnancy, the infection may be transmitted to the fetus. Rarely, this results in severe anaemia in the fetus. Infection in a patient with a weakened immune system can result in prolonged infection and severe anaemia. Parvovirus B19 infection is diagnosed by a blood test.

http://www.healthatoz.com/healthatoz/Atoz/ency/fifth_disease.html

Extractions: Definition Fifth disease is a mild childhood illness caused by the human parvovirus B19 that causes flu-like symptoms and a rash. It is called fifth disease because it was fifth on a list of common childhood illnesses that are accompanied by a rash, including measles rubella or German measles, scarlet fever (or scarlatina), and scarlatinella, a variant of scarlet fever Description The Latin name for the disease is erythema infectiosum , meaning infectious redness. It is also called the "slapped cheek disease" because, when the bright red rash first appears on the cheeks, it looks as if the face has been slapped. Anyone can get the disease, but it occurs more frequently in school-aged children. The disease is usually mild, and both children and adults usually recover quickly without complications. In fact, some individuals exhibit no symptoms and never even feel ill. Outbreaks most often occur in the winter and spring. Causes and symptoms Fifth disease is caused by the human parvovirus B19, a member of the Parvoviridae family of viruses, that lives in the nose and throat of the infected person. The virus is spread through the air by coughing and sneezing. Because the virus needs a rapidly dividing cell in order to multiply, it attacks the red blood cells of the body. Once infected, a person is believed to be immune to reinfection.
