A four-year-old girl is brought in by her parents for a high fever. Her temperature in the office is 102°F, but she is playing and smiling during the visit. The physical exam is unremarkable. The pediatrician provides acetaminophen, reassurance to the parents, and sends the family home. A few days later, the fever breaks and the parents call the office urgently, reporting a maculopapular rash that is ‘all over their baby girl.’ What is the most likely causative agent?
A. Coxsackie A virus
B. Parvovirus B19
C. Roseola infantum
D. Rubella
E. Rubeola
F. Varicella

alice is right guys.
It is Roseola infantum, also called 6th disease(not fifth- that is parvo virus with slapped cheeks). Here, the child would have fever, which subsides and then rash comes up.
