Do you know how common slapped cheek syndrome is?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Very common: 50% of kids 15 years old or younger have been exposed to slapped cheek syndrome. By the time you're an adult, 50-80% of us have been exposed. That's a lot.

Really common: Known also as fifth disease, parvovirus b19 is responsible for it. The slapped cheek symptom is especially common in young kids who get parvovirus b19.
