Evo opis bolesti sa baby centra:
My baby has a spotty pinkish red rash on her stomach. Could it be roseola?
It may be. Roseola, or roseola infantum, is a fairly mild and common childhood disease that causes a fever and a rash. Sometimes called "baby measles," it strikes between the ages of 6 months and 2 years. It's caused by a herpes virus (not the sexually transmitted kind), and usually lasts only about a week. (Immune cells received from their mother in the uterus usually protect babies younger than 6 months from contracting viral infections such as roseola.)
What are the other symptoms of roseola?
Roseola usually starts with a moderate to high fever. Your baby's temperature may hover between 101 and 105 degrees F for two to five days and then abruptly return to normal. Once the fever subsides, a spotty raised rosy pink rash will appear on your baby's torso and perhaps spread to her neck, face, and arms. The rash is not itchy or uncomfortable and usually lasts only a day or two. Your child may also be listless and have a runny nose, mild diarrhea, a decreased appetite, and enlarged lymph nodes in the front or sides of the neck or lower back of the head.
Occasionally children with roseola suffer a febrile seizure, or fever convulsion, brought on by a rapid rise in temperature. If this happens your baby may become unconscious and jerk her arms, legs, or face for two or three minutes; she may also lose control of her bladder or bowels. If you can, try to time the length of the seizure; your pediatrician will want to know this information when you call. Although frightening, fever convulsions in young children are seldom serious and rarely harmful. Still, you should report a fever seizure to your pediatrician right away.
Should I call the doctor?
Yes. Most doctors will want to know if a child under 2 has a fever over 101 degrees F. The advice nurse or pediatrician will ask about your baby's symptoms and may tell you to look for the rash after a few days. If the fever persists and if the rash lasts longer than a couple of days or changes appearance, your pediatrician will probably want you to come in.
How can I treat roseola?
There's no specific treatment for this illness. The most important thing you can do is to make sure your baby rests and gets plenty of liquids (breast milk or formula). If the doctor okays it, you can give your child children's acetaminophen to reduce her fever. Never give acetaminophen to a baby under 3 months old without checking with your doctor first, and never give a baby aspirin; it can cause Reye's syndrome, a rare but potentially deadly disease. A lukewarm sponge bath can soothe the discomfort of the fever. Like most viruses, roseola just needs to run its course.
Is roseola contagious?
Yes, particularly among young children, though no one knows exactly how it spreads. As long as your baby has both a fever and a rash, keep her home from daycare and away from other kids. If she just has the rash, she doesn't have to be isolated from others. (A child who is exposed may come down with the illness in a week to 10 days.) Almost everyone has antibodies to roseola by the time they're 4, whether or not they had a visible case of the virus. Even so, make sure all family members — particularly people taking care of your sick child — wash their hands frequently.
