01 / WHAT MATTERS ON THE EXAM

Erythema infectiosum (parvovirus B19): slapped cheeks then lacy limb rash — no longer contagious once the rash appears; risk of aplastic crisis in sickle cell and hydrops in pregnancy.

02 / WHAT TO LOOK FOR

Slapped-cheek erythema with a lacy, reticular rash on the limbs

03 / WATCH OUT FOR

The usual rash phase is minimally contagious, but parvovirus-associated aplastic crisis or chronic infection in immunocompromised patients can remain infectious.
