An outbreak of 'slapped cheek' parvovirus infection (erythema infectiosum) in a Scottish street.
One adult and six children living in a small Scottish street developed erythema infectiosum (fifth disease) during the summer of 1985. The rash was attributed to infection with the human parvovirus. Leg pain and arthralgia occurred in five of the children.
