My name is Parvovirus B19.
I'm from the Parvoviridae family.
I cause Erythema Infectiosum
You can call it slapped cheek, or 5th disease.
I give you fever, muscle ache and lymphadenopathy.
My rash starts on your face and moves to your arms and legs.
When I visit pregnant mothers I can give their babies fetal hydrops.
They get anaemia, oedema and heart failure.
