The objective of present study was to evaluate knowledge about “Erythema Infectiosum”. Erythema Infectiosum is also well-known as Fifth disease. It is a viral illness generally found in kids. This infection is initiated because of parvovirus B19. It blow outs through the mucus from the nose or mouth of an infected person. This disease reasons a bright red “slapped cheek” rash. The virus transmits a disease to only humans. The symptoms of fifth disease bring in some cold, slight fever, body pains, and minor rashes on face, headache and fatigue. In adults, it may have not any indications or sometimes arise the typical rash, joint pain and swelling. The more signs can involve anemia, fast breathing, rapid pulse, temperature and sick feelings.
