poor thing she asked me yesterday if her face was red as it was burning hot and very itchy

i have one mum who is pregnant but hopefully she's passed the danger stage

[Lou]

ooohhh nasty how did they know was it diagnosed?


sorry just wondered as i have not come across it yet

[angeldelight]

Oh what a shame

I was chatting to someone about this the other day its surprising how many people have never ever heard of it

I had heard of it but I have never seen anyone with it

Hope she is feeling ok ?

apparently lou it's sweeping through the school

i have heard of it but only from when mine were little

it has flu like symptoms as well as the burning red cheek and mum was taking her to the drs this afternoon but as 3 from her class are off with it she is pretty sure about what it is.

once the rash has appeared it isn't contagious i just hope i'm not going to get anything i am only just feeling normal after my chest infection

[Lou]

[Minnie Minx]

My little 5 year old mindee had slap cheek over the Easter holidays. He wasn't unwell with it at all but he did have really red cheeks and a rash all over his body.
He doesn't come here in the hols cos his mums a teacher so he wasn't in contact with my other kids luckily.

Back in The States in my old job, when I visited families in their homes, I was in the earliest stages of pregnancy (noone knew yet) and I visited a lo who had this (also called 5ths disease). I was so worried and upset that I went straight to my doctor. Luckily, it was all okay in the end but it can be dangerous to pregnant women.

This is the one that is caused by parvovirus and when you say that every one thinks it is linked to dogs!!

hi tatia
i am ignoring the smutty ones who made comment about my bed time.:laughing: :laughing:

i have warned the mum about it and told her to consult the dr.
she is due in july so is about 6 months so i think she's passed the worst stages but she didn't seem unduly worried

we've had quite a few aswell! the hpa official stance is there is no exclusion period but it is really catching so is still doing the rounds!

[Blaze]

J had this last year...it's a real pain in the rear!

My son had this when he was small I'd never heard of it before

A childminder friend had it a couple of weeks ago but I haven't seen any children with it lately

Oh and I would exclude it can be passed on quite easily
