Who's At Risk
The typical age of those commonly affected by roseola is between 6 and 15 months. Infants under 6 months of age are usually protected from this disease naturally from birth by the mother's immune system. Although 95% of roseola cases occur in children under 3 years, it has been reported in older children. Roseola can develop in children year long; however, some studies indicate a higher incidence during spring and fall months. There is no predominance in sex, race, or geographic location.
