Fifth’s Disease
Did you know that fifth’s disease, or slapped cheek syndrome, can give an infection called parvo virus to your baby? If you come in contact with a child who has fifth’s disease, please let us know. We can do blood tests to see if you were exposed.

Hand/foot/mouth disease is also risky. It causes a blistery rash in children, but can affect newborns severely. Call us if you have been exposed to it.

Exposures to chicken pox can also be dangerous. If you have had a chicken pox infection as a child or have been previously immunized, you are likely immune to further infection. Please call us if you are exposed to chicken pox so that we may check your immune status with a blood test.
