My four year old son was diagnosed with
erythema infectiosum or fifths disease. He
has a reddish rash on his face. Me and my
daughter who is one weren't home for a
month and when we came back i found out
about my son. I know that this disease is
infectious and can be transmitted. But I
have read somewhere that it can't be
transmitted if the Rash is already
developed. Can my daughter be infected too
? She was near my son after he developed a
Rash. Dose someone now anything about this
disease ?
Thanks
