Historically, six "classical" infectious childhood exanthems have been recognized.[2] Numbers were provided in 1905.[3]
They include:
* measles (rubeola) ("first disease")
* scarlet fever ("second disease"). Measles and scarlet fever were distinguished in the 17th century.[4]
* rubella ("third disease"). Rubella was identified in 1881.[4]
* Fourth disease, a condition whose existence is not widely accepted today, was described in 1900.[4]
* erythema infectiosum ("fifth disease"). It was identified as a distinct condition in 1896.[5]
* roseola infantum ("sixth disease"). It is caused by HHV-6 and HHV-7

Two forms are recognized :
Epidemic louse-borne relapsing fever is caused by Borrelia recurrentis and is most common in the horn of Africa.
Endemic tick-borne relapsing fever is a less severe disease caused by one of eight Borrelia spp;
its distribution is much wider cases occur on all continents.
Both diseases are caused by spirochaetes that multiply in the blood.
The antibody clearance of spirochaetes coincides with defervescence but fever recurs because the bacilli have genes that encode around 50 variable membrane proteins that are expressed in sequential broods of spirochaetes
