A respiratory disease known as parvovirus B19 is on the rise in the U.S. among all age groups, according to a recent advisory from the CDC. Experts share symptoms, treatment and high-risk groups.
The largest increase in infections was among children ages 5 to 9.
The virus typically causes a blotchy rash on the cheeks that appears as if someone has slapped them — hence its nickname, "slapped cheek disease."
