AB A  2-year-old  boy  presents  with  mild  flu-like  symptoms  and  a  rash.  He  had  erythematous  malar  rash  and  a  “lace-like”  erythematous  rash  on  the  trunk  and  extremities  (Figures  127-1  and  127-2).  The  “slapped  cheek”  appearance  made  the  diagnosis  easy  for  fifth  disease.  The  parents  were  reassured  that  this  would  go  away  on  its  own.  The  child  returned  to  daycare  the  next  day.
