Slapped Cheek in our schools

Apparently there are a lot of sick kids around but you'd hardly know it until you see a rash and by then it's too late.  5th Disease, or Slapped Cheek as it is otherwise known, is running rampant through some Seattle schools.  There are aches and pains in joints, sore throats, tummy aches, a low grade on and off fever, and lastly the red cheeks (rash).  If you think your kid is just trying to get out of going to school and doesn't appear to be sick, then check further because it might be 5 th Disease.  Adults can get it too!
