5th disease: Parvo virus causes 5th disease in children, is highly contagious. Diagnosed by fever and rash on the cheeks. Very mild in children and usually requires no treatment. However can sometimes/infrequently be serious in pregnancy by causing health problems for the fetus.

See Ob/Gyn: Notify your doctor. Your doctor can order viral titers to determine if you have already had the parvo virus.
