A member asked:
Please tell me, could a child get roseola twice?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Roseola is a nebulous diagnosis and it is more likely that a kid was mislabeled at one of the two occasions because some viral illnesses produce a similar rash. It is caused by a single germ that confers lifelong immunity.
