Parvovirus infection or erythema infectiosum
Some people may call it slapped-cheek disease because of the face rash that develops resembling slap marks. It's also commonly called fifth disease because it was fifth of a group of once- common childhood diseases that all have similar rashes. The other four diseases are measles, rubella, scarlet fever and Dukes' disease. Whatever the name, it's still a common but mild infection in children that generally requires little treatment. However, parvovirus infection in some pregnant women can lead to serious health problems for the fetus. Parvovirus infection is also more serious for adults with some kinds of anemia or who have a compromised immune system.
