Abstract | Human Parvovirus B19, discovered in 1975, is a single-strandede DNA virus which causes erythema infectiosum, arthralgia, aplastic crisis, chronic anemia in immunocompromised patients, and fetal hydrops. The virus may be transmitted by respiratory route and by transfusion of infected blood and blood products. Diagnosis in immunocompetent persons depends on detection of specific IgM in serum by using recombinant viral antigens. Diagnosis in immunocompromised persons depends on detectionof B19 antigen or viral DNA in blood or serum. | |
