Yes Fifths disease does cause vomiting.

Vomiting is very common in fifths disease as well as diarrhea and nausea.

Fifths disease is a virus that causes a rash as well and is caused by parvovirus B19.

There's also another virus or disease that is different but also causes a rash and is called sixth disease or Roseola.

Sixth disease which is also known as Roseola is contagious during the high fever and when the rash appears with Roseola or sixth disease.

Once the fever is gone and the rash is gone then the child is no longer contagious.

Usually once the fever is gone and a few days after the rash appears a child may no longer be contagious with the Roseola or sixth disease.

Roseola is contagious to adults especially if the adult never had roseola themselves as a toddler.

Roseola is also known as sixths disease.

It's rare for adults to get infected with roseola from their toddler or infant but it is possible.

A good way to tell the difference between measles and roseola is to notice where the rash appears and what it looks like.

Measles is a condition that both children and adults get and produces a splotchy reddish rash that spreads from head to foot.

Roseola on the other hand is most common in children 2 years old and younger but sometimes adults can get it as well.

Roseola also causes a rash to form on the trunk, which spreads to the upper arms and neck and fades within days.

Roseola is not a form of measles.

Although roseola and measles seem and look similar the two are very different from each other.

Roseola mostly affects toddlers and infants while measles affects children above 2 years old and even adults.

Measles causes the person to experience splotchy reddish rash that spreads from head to foot.

Roseola is usually a mild infection that is caused by two strains of herpes virus. It's common, usually affecting children by age two.

Although adults can also get Roseola it's rare for adults to get infected with Roseola.

Measles is more common in children above age 2 and adults.
