Guest guest Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 My children all currently have fifths disease which is also called the slapped cheek disease. It is a viral infection that is going around. I beleive that got in while inpatient. It can also cause a lacy skin discloration/rash, but more noticable is the slapped cheek affect(more prominent when the children are warm like in the bath). The other issues present like the flu or there may not even be any other symptoms at all. She has had flushing before, but not like tis. This is more than the typical dysautonomic flushing. Just wanted to pass this along. It is also called human parvo virus b19. Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
