Contents 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.

    Extractions: About Sponsorship Opportunities Questions Comments ... Guide to Medical Care 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. 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. 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. There is no cure, and the symptoms usually go away on their own after about a week.

    Extractions: Home Skin conditions 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. 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.

    Extractions: 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: 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?

    Extractions: (Fifth Disease) 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. From 4-14 days; can be as long as 21 days. During the week prior to the appearance of the rash; by the time the rash appears, they are probably no longer infectious.

    Extractions: The most common disease caused by Parvovirus B19 (B19V) is erythema infectiosum (EI), also known as "fifth disease" or "slapped cheek syndrome" because of it's characteristic rash. This is a common childhood illness characterised by symptoms such as a fever, coryza, headache and mild gastrointestinal tract symptoms such as nausea and diarrhoea. This is generally followed by a rash 2-5 days later which is harmless but may recur over several weeks especially if the patient is exposed to a sudden change in temperature, sunlight or emotional stress (14). Primarily the rash effects the cheeks, hence the term "slapped cheek" syndrome. The rash may spread to the extremities and the trunk. This is mainly a childhood disease. Between 50 to 70% of the adult population are seropositive for B19 IgG antibodies (6, 7, 8). In normal healthy individuals Parvovirus infection is mild and may be asymptomatic. However, during pregnancy or if the patient has an underlying illness infection may be more serious.

    Extractions: 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.

    Extractions: What is Fifth Disease? A common, usually mild rash illness caused by Human Parvovirus B19. What are the symptoms? Mild symptoms (for example headache, body ache, sore throat, low grade fever and chills) may occur before the rash. Usually there is no fever. Frequently there is a rash, especially on the cheeks (slapped-cheek appearance), followed by a lace-like rash on the chest, back, arms and legs. The rash fades, but may return and improve or get worse for weeks, especially with exposure to heat, such as sunlight or bathing. Joint pain and swelling of the joints commonly occur in adults and might occur in children. Some people do not have symptoms at all. How is it spread?
