pathogens <\/a>while their immune system starts to form. However, as these antibodies begin to drop off at around 9-months, the baby is exposed to infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAs a result, most infants catch roseola anywhere between 6 to 15-months old on average. Risk factors for contracting roseola include exposure to other babies with the virus, as well as being in public spaces where germs are readily transferred, such as gyms and public bathrooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Roseola infection is of significant concern in younger infants. Children under 6-months old have yet to develop the immune system necessary, to summon a robust immune response and get rid of the infection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seniors with weak immune systems are at risk of developing roseola infection as well. Further complications in seniors include pneumonia and encephalitis \u2014 a life-threatening swelling of the brain.
