Roseola is one of the most common childhood infections.
If your baby contracts roseola she will develop a sudden high fever but exhibit no other symptoms, and she will not look or behave particularly sick. Three or four days later, the fever will break and only then she will develop a rose-colored rash that may last several hours or several days.
Roseola is spread by contact with the respiratory secretions of other infected children or adults. Although there are currently no laboratory tests to diagnose roseola and no treatment (besides fever management), you should always consult your pediatrician when symptoms appear.
