Measles, mumps, and rubella viruses are united as components of the widely used, very successful MMR vaccine. Note that measles and rubella are characterized by a rash, whereas mumps is not. The prominent feature of mumps is parotid gland swelling. Slapped cheek syndrome, as the name implies, is characterized by a rash on the face and is caused by parvovirus B19. Roseola infantum is a childhood disease characterized by high fever and a rash. It is caused by human herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6).
