My 9 year old was diagnosed with an aneurysm in his RCA due to Kawasaki Disease. He was is covered with rashes and blood work revealed that he has a slightly elevated whit blood cells as a reaction to a virus. Could it be reaction to the Fifth Disease? My other son was just diagnosed with the fifth disease.

No its not fifth disease. Aneurysm is common in Kawasaki disease and its disabling if not managed properly. Kindly follow the instruction and medication prescribed to him strictly. Any defer from the management can lead to severe problem.Additionally reaction to a virus causes low WBC count not raised counts. IN my opinion its Kawasaki and follow the medication strictly.
