A member asked:

I'm an adult with fibromyalgia, both kinds of arthritis & i believe i have 5th disease again. it's been almost 25 years since i had it the first time.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Fifth disease: Fifth disease is a viral infection and generally doesn't recur because of the development of immunity. Adults usually don't get the rash and joint involvement is common. Is it possible that you didn't have true fifth disease in the past, that it was misdiagnosed?
