Could sixth disease mean i have herpes?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Sixth disease: is an old fashioned term for roseola, a viral illness most commonly seen in those under the age of 2. It is caused by a herpes virus, but not the herpes virus I think you are thinking of. The chicken pox virus, the mono virus and the cold sore virus are in the family of herpes viruses.
