What Is Fifth Disease? Fifth Disease is a viral infection that can bring on coldlike symptoms and a bright-red face-and-body rash in infants, young children, and, occasionally, adults. This disease is just one of a lengthy list of skin conditions that can target young kids.
The symptoms of fifth disease include: 1  Low-grade fever. 2  Bright red cheeks. 3  A flat or raised red rash, usually on the arms and legs, which lasts from two to 39 days and may itch; the rash fades from the center of red areas toward the edges, giving it a lacy appearance.  Less commonly, headache, sore throat, and joint pain.
