Traditional Childhood Exanthems =============================== þ The name "fifth disease" is not typically capitalized, since the name derives from its historical classification as the fifth of the classical childhood skin rashes or exanthems. Their classification is as follows: Measles Scarlet fever Rubella Duke's disease fifth disease (erythema infectiosum) Roseola þ Dukes' disease or fourth disease is an exanthem. - It is named after Clement Dukes. - Some of these eruptions are characteristic of the causative virus, but in most cases one must be satisfied with the diagnosis of viral rash. - It was never associated with a specific pathogen,[3] and the terms "fourth disease" and "Dukes' disease" are rarely used today. - In 1979 Keith Powell proposed equating it with the condition currently known as Staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome.
