    Roseola is often diagnosed when the child is getting better. At first the high fever may cause concern to parents and doctors if it is not clear what is causing it. Other more serious illnesses may need to be ruled out. The sudden drop in fever, and the appearance of the typical rash is reassuring. It indicates that the fever has been caused by the roseola virus and nothing more serious.

    Rubella contagious viral disease that is a milder form of measles lasting three or four days; can be damaging to a fetus during the first trimester.

    rubeola, commonly called red measles
    rubella, commonly called German measles
    roseola, commonly called baby measles
    All three types of measles are caused by viruses. Vaccinations are available against the red and German measle viruses (but not against the baby measle virus). Because of the possibility of serious complications from red and German measles, vaccination is strongly recommended.
