Fifth disease is a mild rash illness, caused due to parvovirus B19. This will be mainly seen in children compare to adults. Other names for this include: ErythemaInfectiosum (EI), Slapped cheek syndrome. Epidemics of erythema infectiosum mainly occurs in late winter or early spring. Tests for this include specific parvovirus B19 IgM antibody. IgM antibodies usually founds within 7 to 10 days of virus exposure, the remain measures are from 2 to 3 months after exposure to virus. Symptoms mainlyincludes rash, headache, fatigue, low-grade fever. However,there is no vaccine or medicine that prevent parvovirus B19 infection. Adults who have symptoms of joint pain and swelling may need rest, to alter their activities. Andtake Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like Aspirin, Ibuprofen, or Naproxen sodium. Patients who are suffering with chronic parvovirus arthritis occasionally benefit from drugs such as hydroxychloroquine and corticosteroids and also, they want to avoid dairy products, Sweets and sugar. They want to increase their fluid intake and vitamin c supplements to improve their immune system.

Abstract Objectives Human parvovirus B19, the cause of fifth disease in children and transient arthropathy in adults, could induce autoimmunity and the production of autoantibodies. The aim of this study is to explore the relationship between B19 infection and autoantibodies upregulation in women and children. Methods Of 512 women and children in our hospital between 2016 and 2018, all cases simultaneously test anti-B19 IgM and autoantibodies like anti-nuclear antibody, anti-Sm and anti-double stranded DNA antibody were included in this study. Results Parvovirus B19 infection could significantly upregulate anti-nuclear antibody and anti-Sm, but not anti-double stranded DNA, the titer of autoantibodies is associated with the content of anti-B19 IgM, and the infection in children is accompanied with more obvious autoantibodies upregulation. Conclusions Our data shows that parvovirus B19 infection is related to autoantibodies production in both women and children, and the status of infection may associate with the titer of autoantibodies in parvovirus B19 infected patients.

Parvovirus B19 infection in pediatrics most commonly causes fifth disease, a mild viral illness. Hematologic manifestations include severe anemia, especially in patients with chronic hemolytic anemias or who are immunocompromised. Because of the shortened life span of erythrocytes in patients with sickle cell disease, parvovirus infection can cause transient aplastic crisis which can be life-threatening. However, leukocytosis and thrombocytosis are rarely seen. We report leukoerythroblastosis as an unusual presentation of acute parvovirus B19 infection in a previously splenectomized 12-year-old boy with sickle cell disease.
