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.
Children can only spread the infection before they have the symptoms of the illness-ie. fever and/or rash. Once they have symptoms, they are no longer contagious. There is no known way to prevent the spread of Roseola. There is no vaccine. Good and regular hand-washing and drying is the best way to help reduce the spread of the virus. Sharing eating utensils should also be avoided.
