What is hematology? Hematology is the study of blood and blood disorders. Hematologists and hematopathologists are highly trained healthcare providers who specialize in diseases of the blood and blood components. These include blood and bone marrow cells. Hematological tests can help diagnose anemia, infection, hemophilia, blood-clotting disorders, and leukemia.
Roseola is a viral illness that usually affects children between the ages of six months and two years. It is typically marked by several days of high fever, followed by a pinkish-red flat or raised rash that appears on the child's torso and spreads over the body as the fever breaks.
How Should the Roseola Fever Be Treated? Young children with roseola may have fever that is quite high (103 F-105 F). If the child is not uncomfortable, the fever need not be treated. It is not necessary to awaken a child to treat a fever unless advised to do so by your child's health-care provider.
