Roseola infantum, also known as baby rose rash, is a common acute exanthematous infectious disease in infants and young children aged between six months and two years. Its main characteristic is high fever lasting 3 to 4 days, followed by a rash as the fever subsides. The viruses responsible for roseola are Human Herpesvirus 6 and 7, but other viruses such as Enterovirus 16, Adenovirus, and Parainfluenza can also cause this condition.

In this case, only symptomatic treatment is required; there is no need for antibiotics or similar medications. It is also essential to ensure that the child drinks plenty of water. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, antipyretic medication should be administered. Generally, within the first 3 days of the illness, isolation of peripheral blood lymphocytes and saliva can detect viral antigens and genes, assisting in the diagnosis of roseola infantum.
