Erythema infectiousum is called fifth disease because at the time it was discovered it was the fifth most common cause of rash in children.
Fifth disease is similar to chicken pox or other type viral infections. It is most commonly seen in children but some adults can be affected. A hallmark of the condition is a lacy type rash that starts on the trunk and spreads to the limbs. Typically the rash lasts only a couple of days or so but can reoccur. Especially in adults severe body aches are common.
Fifth disease is usually suspected based on a patient's symptoms, including the typical appearance of the bright red rash on the cheeks, patient history, age, and the time of year.
It is a viral infection usually seen in preschool children. It presents with typical upper respiratory syndrome symptoms and can be distinguished by the red "slapped cheek" rash on the face.

I had Fifth disease when I was, oddly enough, in the fifth grade. It's just a virus with symptoms that include a rash (I remember it was on my face) and I think a fever and it lasts a couple of weeks or so. I got over it with no problems, as I think most kids do.

Fifth disease?? Google the symptoms for this disease as it sound very much like what you've described barring any unmentioned symptoms. Fifth disease begins with a low-grade fever, headache, and mild cold-like symptoms (a stuffy or runny nose). These symptoms pass, and the illness seems to be gone until a rash appears a few days later. The bright red rash typically begins on the face. Several days later, the rash spreads and red blotches (usually lighter in color) extend down to the trunk, arms, and legs. The rash usually spares the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. As the centers of the blotches begin to clear, the rash takes on a lacy net-like appearance. Kids younger than 10 years old are most likely to get the rash. Older kids and adults sometimes complain that the rash itches, but most children with a rash caused by fifth disease do not look sick and no longer have fever. It may take 1 to 3 weeks for the rash to completely clear, and during that time it may seem to worsen until it finally fades away entirely. http://kidshealth.org/parent/infections/skin/fifth.html#
