Ep 150 – Roseola
Manage episode 474918860 series 3528644
Roseola infantum is a viral infection primarily affecting infants and young children, most commonly between the ages of 6 and 12 months. It accounts for 10–45% of febrile illnesses in infants, and cases tend to peak in the spring and autumn seasons. Diagnosing roseola is almost always clinical, and for patients with the classic presentation a clinical diagnosis can be made based on physical examination findings and history alone. In this episode, Dr Roger Henderson looks at the causes and typical symptoms of roseola, along with illnesses that may mimic it, treatment options and possible complications of the illness.
