A member asked:
When can my daughter go to school when she has fifth disease?
4 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
See below: No reason to be absent from school. Fifth disease is typically diagnosed when the child develops characteristic rash. By then the affected child is no longer contagious.

When rash appears: The contagious period for this illness ends with the appearance of the rash. The rash may last off and on for weeks and staying out is not necessary.
