[Clinical manifestations of infectious erythema in adults].
The infectious erythema is usually childhood disease associated with rash and caused by parvovirus B19. At the beginning of 1993., at the Clinic for infectious and tropical diseases of the Military Medical Academy 36 patients were treated for this disease, the average age 21 years. The prodromal phase of illness lasted approximately 2.9 days, the elevated temperature 5.2 days, and 17 patients had temperature above 39 degrees C. The rash was usually maculo-papullous and lasted about 6 days. Four patients had the recurrence of rash. The polyarthralgia appeared for short in six patients and in one patient lasted longer than 4 months. The mild anemia during infectious erythema was observed in 18 patients. IgM antiparvo B19 antibodies were proven in serum in 91.7%, and IgG antibodies in 58.3% of patients.
