6th disease
Also known as rubeola/14-day measles; caused by Measles virus of Paramyxoviridae and is airborne (Viral exanthem 1st disease)
Measles
Causative agent of measles
Measles virus (Paramyxoviridae family)
A family of viruses larger than Orthomyxoviridae; causes mumps and measles
Paramyxoviridae
Characterized by fever, 3 Cs (cough, coryza, conjunctivitis), Koplik spots, and lymphopenia (Stages of measles)
Prodromal period
Characterized by light pink, discrete maculopapules that coalesce to form blotches, becoming brownish in 5-10 days (Stages of measles)
Rash
Most common complication of measles
Otitis media
Most common life-threatening complication of measles
2° bacterial pneumonia
Rare late complication of measles
Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis
Treatment for measles
Vitamin A
Prevention for measles
Live attenuated vaccine (May be alone or in combination [MMR])
Also known as German measles/3-day measles; caused by Rubella virus of Togaviridae and is airborne (Viral exanthem 3rd disease)
Rubella
Causative agent of rubella
Rubella virus (Togaviridae family)
The mildest of the common viral exanthems; characterized by malaise, low-grade fever, morbiliform rash, Forchheimer spots, and transient arthralgia and arthritis
Rubella
Rash present in rubella
Morbiliform rash
Nonspecific spots present in rubella
Forchheimer spots
Prevention of rubella
Live attenuated vaccine as MMR
An in utero infection; characterized by a triad of cataracts, cardiac abnormalities, and congenital sensorineural deafness, and mental retardation (Viral exanthem 3rd disease)
Congenital rubella syndrome

Characterized by flu-like symptoms (Phases of erythema infectiosum)
1st phase
Characterized by erythematous facial rash (a slapped cheek appearance) and arthralgia (Phases of erythema infectiosum)
2nd phase
A family of small animal DNA viruses; an example of single stranded DNA virus
Parvoviridae
Characterized by cutaneous rash and arthralgia/arthritis (Other diseases caused by Parvovirus B19)
Erythema infectiosum
Characterized by severe acute anemia (Other diseases caused by Parvovirus B19)
Transient aplastic crisis
