In today's episode, Dr. Blair Rolnick discusses parvovirus B 19, also known as fifths disease, which you could be hearing about as it's the season for this virus outbreak. The virus is common among school-age children and is characterized by mild cold-like symptoms, fever, headache, cough, sore throat, rash, and joint pain. Dr. Rolnick breaks down what you need to know about the disease and how it is important to know the signs and symptoms.  Dr. Rolnick discusses what course of action you should take if you think you have been exposed while pregnant. Unfortunately, there is no vaccination available, so the best prevention methods include practicing good hygiene and staying home when sick.  This episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/K_LIows5hqk  This information is for educational purposes only.
