Parvovirus infection is a common and highly contagious childhood illness. It's sometimes called slapped-cheek disease because of the distinctive face rash that develops. Parvovirus infection has also been known as fifth disease because, historically, it was fifth in a list of common childhood illnesses characterized by a rash.

Adults don't usually develop the slapped-cheek rash. Instead, the most noticeable symptom of parvovirus infection in adults is joint soreness, lasting days to weeks. Joints most commonly affected are the hands, wrists, knees and ankles.

As Rock continued to laugh, Smith walked across the stage, slapped Rock, then turned around and walked back to his seat.[12] The attack, which some assumed was prearranged comedy, startled the audience. Many noted that this act contradicted and jeopardized the calm, positive public image that Smith had built in his three-decade career.[13] The previously calm Rock also looked startled,[14] while Smith shouted at him from his seat.[12]

Fifth disease or slapped cheek disease is a viral infection caused by human parvovirus B19. Outbreaks generally happen in winter and spring. The virus is spread through contact with infected respiratory secretions, such as through coughing and sneezing. It may also be passed from mother to unborn baby.

Parvovirus B19 infection, also known as erythema infectiosum, fifth disease, or slapped cheek syndrome, is a viral infection that only affects humans. Outbreaks of the infection are common in preschool and young school aged children.

Most children who get slapped cheek do not have any symptoms, and if they do the symptoms are usually very mild. A common symptom is cheeks that look like they have been slapped, which is where the virus gets its name.

It may take between four and 14 days after your child is exposed to slapped cheek for any symptoms to show. The symptoms can vary, and are usually so mild that many parents won't realise that their child has had the virus.

Slapped cheek is spread by touching or breathing in the coughed or sneezed fluid drops from an infected person. Children with slapped cheek are contagious until 24 hours after their fever has resolved. They will not be able to spread the infection to other people after this time, even if they have a rash.

Most children do not need any treatment, except for rest to allow the body to fight the infection. Because slapped cheek is caused by a virus, antibiotics are not given to children with slapped cheek as antibiotics do not treat viruses.

If you are pregnant and exposed to someone with slapped cheek, ask your GP to test if you have had human parvovirus B19 in the past. The GP will perform a parvovirus IgG serology test. If you have already had human parvovirus B19, then there are no concerns for your unborn baby. If you have not, your unborn baby can get a type of anaemia (low level of red blood cells in the blood). This is rarely serious and usually resolves by itself. Your obstetrician can provide more advice. The virus does not cause any other problems for your baby.

If you are pregnant and catch slapped cheek during the first half of your pregnancy, there is a small risk that your baby can develop a serious form of anaemia (low iron levels in the blood), or that you may have a miscarriage.

From footage of the show Sunday night, it seemed that Will Smith initially laughed at the G.I. Jane joke, but grew angry as others in the room moaned and Jada Pinkett Smith first rolled her eyes, then glared at the comic. Moments later, Will Smith stalked onstage, slapped Rock and returned to his seat, where he mouthed in a way he seemed to realize the cameras would capture: "Keep my wife's name out your f***ing mouth." Even as ABC cut an embarrassingly long amount of audio out of that moment, Will Smith's anger and insults were easy to see.

Smith should have apologized to Questlove for nearly ruining his moment. Instead of celebrating the drummer/producer's enormous achievement, many in the TV audience were still trying to figure out if they saw an awkward comedy bit or if one of the world's most successful actors actually just slapped one of Hollywood's most successful comics.

Arthritis-like symptoms, such as swollen ankle, knee and wrist joints, are common for teenagers and adults with slapped cheek disease. This complication is more common in female teenagers and adults, and is sometimes the only symptom of infection. Normally, it takes around two to four weeks for the joints to get better. However, in some people, the swelling can last for months. Unlike true arthritis, there is no danger of permanent damage, even if the joints are affected for a long time.

People with compromised immune systems (for example, people being treated for cancer or severe asthma, or those with HIV/AIDS) can develop chronic and severe anaemia with slapped cheek disease. They may require a transfusion of red blood cells to maintain an adequate level of haemoglobin.

Those with disorders such as sickle cell anaemia, thalassaemia and hereditary spherocytosis can experience a sudden drop in haemoglobin, the protein that transports oxygen around the blood, with slapped cheek disease. In severe cases, this can lead to heart failure. A transfusion of red blood cells to maintain an adequate level of haemoglobin may be required.

Giants outfielder Joc Pederson said he was slapped by Reds outfielder Tommy Pham over a fantasy football league disagreement during batting practice before Friday's 5-1 Reds victory at Great American Ball Park.

Instead, audiences will remember the 2022 Academy Awards as the time a nominated actor slapped a presenter for making a crass joke about his wife. (The academy on Monday condemned Smith's actions and opened a review of the incident.)

The most recognized symptom of fifth disease is a sudden, bright red rash across the cheeks that looks as if the child has been slapped. You might also hear it called slapped-cheek disease. The disease is rare in infants and adults.

The couple and their group were in a VIP area above the dance floor, and when Dana leaned over to say something to Anne ... she reacted by slapping him across the face. Dana immediately slapped her back in the face, before friends jumped in and pulled them apart -- and it all played out in plain view of patrons down below. 2ff7e9595c
