A member asked:
Is it possible to have 5th disease twice, like right after rash dissappears get the virus again from sibling who has it now?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, but: it's probably reactivation, not reinfection. Infection with Parvovirus B19 can last several weeks and the symptoms may come and go. Thanks for trusting HealthTap! PS My daughter swears she had it twice, too.
