A member asked:
Can 5ths disease cause anemia in toddlers? she has 5th rash and bloodwork from 3yr check up 2wks ago says she has mild anemia, it it caused by 5th
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below.: Anemia can be caused by 5th Disease, although there could also be a concurrent other cause for the anemia, so I wouldn't say for sure that's what it is from. Most toddlers don't get very ill from 5th, if they are otherwise healthy. You should speak to her doctor about other causes to be ruled out, for example, iron deficiency.
