Did this question get an answer yet? If not, here's my 2 cents' worth:

Could you hear " roseola " for " rolio " ?

It's " fifth disease. " Fifth disease is also called erythema

infectiosum. Decades ago, a French pediatrician labeled the diseases of

childhood by number--rubeola is first disease and rubella is third disease,

for example. Only " fifth disease " is still commonly used. If you're a

trivia buff, you might be interested in the others, listed
