Roseola

Roseola is a viral infection that commonly affects babies and toddlers, causing a high fever for 3-5 days followed by a distinctive rash. It is caused by human herpesvirus 6 or 7 and spreads through respiratory droplets. Most cases occur in children under 2 years old, and the infection usually resolves within a week without specific treatment.
