NHS information

Slapped cheek syndrome - NHS Choices

 

Slapped cheek syndrome (also called fifth disease or parvovirus B19) is a viral infection that's most common in children, although it can affect people of any age. It usually causes a bright red rash on the cheeks.

Although the rash can look alarming, slapped cheek syndrome is normally a mild infection that clears up by itself in one to three weeks. Once you've had the infection, you're usually immune to it for life.

3 weeks? not bad

Someone else was having a similar problem which alarmed me into thinking it was this. Otherwise I feel fine.

My Youngest has it at the moment, bright red cheeks and a runny nose. Luckily it's passed the contagious stage so they are at school.

My wife now has a stinking cold,I've escaped ....so far!
