Fifths Disease is caused by a virus. Adults and kids can get it. Kids can carry the virus for many days before a bright red rash forms on their cheeks. Once the rash appears then they are not contagious. No other symptoms are associated with this virus excep the occasional runny nose and sore throat.
Collin's rash looks a lot better today.
Once the rash appears it can come and go for 10-14 days. Hot baths and sun shine irritate the usually non itchy rash.
If adults get Fifths diseas it can be accompanied by swelling, especially in the knees and last for up to 3 months. Once you have this virus you produce antibodies for it. Women in the first trimester of pregnancy should notify their obstitrician if they come in contact with the virus.
