 Roseola Roseola is a childhood illness caused by two strains of the herpes virus. Common signs of roseola are a fever and a rash on the trunk and neck. Roseola is a childhood illness caused by two strains of the herpes virus. Common signs of roseola are a fever and a rash on the trunk and neck. If your child is exposed to someone with roseola and becomes infected with the virus, it will likely take 1 to 2 weeks for signs and symptoms of infection to appear. Or they may not appear at all. It's possible to become infected with roseola but not show any sign of it. Roseola symptoms might include: 
Fever. Roseola often starts with a high fever — often higher than 103 F (39.4 C). It starts suddenly and lasts 3 to 5 days. Some children also may have a sore throat, runny nose or cough along with or before the fever. Your child may also develop swollen lymph nodes in the neck.

Rash. After the fever goes away, a rash often appears. A roseola rash is many small spots or patches. These spots tend to be flat.
The rash often starts on the chest, back and belly and then spreads to the neck and arms. It might reach the legs and face. The rash isn't likely to be itchy or painful. It can last hours or days. The rash might occur without a fever first.

 Other signs and symptoms of roseola may include: 
Irritability
Mild diarrhea
Decreased appetite
Swollen eyelids
