Erythema Infectiosum

A question from a still newbie PNP:  I have read all my available standard
resources about EI and I cannot find a source anywhere that says it is
pruritic.  Some of the kids whom I have seen with what seems to be "straight
out of the book" EI have complained that it does itch, in particular one young
man who came in yesterday after being out in the sun and the rash came surging
back.  I'm concerned that I might be thinking this is EI and it is really
something else....the history and evolution of the rash seems to fit as well
as the appearance and the undulating fading and exacerbations.  Thanks in
advance for the teaching.  Trudi Scott
