. Parvovirus B19 Yvonne Cossart, an Australian virologist working in London in the mid-1970s the name comes from parvum, the Latin word for small contains a genome consisting of single-stranded DNA Leili Chamani.MD.,MPH specialist in infectious diseases

The virus is spread by respiratory droplets, and secondary infection rates among household contacts are very high. Nosocomial infection has been described. Parvovirus B19 has also been transmitted by blood products, especially pooled factor VIII and factor IX concentrates.

Most cases of parvovirus B19 infection are asymptomatic. The most common clinical presentation of infection is erythema infectiosum, or fifth disease, a childhood exanthem characterized by a "slapped cheek" rash Fever and nonspecific influenza-like symptoms occurres early in adults, particularly middle-aged women, the infection may cause clinically significant arthropathy. The later onset of a cutaneous eruption and rheumatic symptoms, about two weeks after the initial infection, corresponded to the appearance of antiviral antibodies. It is likely that these symptoms of parvovirus B19 infection are due to the formation and deposition of immune complexes in the skin and elsewhere. Serologic testing at this stage of infection generally shows seroconversion, IgM antibodies, or the new presence of IgG antibodies to parvovirus.

Parvovirus B19 infection in a pregnant woman, followed by transplacental transmission to the fetus, can lead to miscarriage or hydrops fetalis The swollen appearance in hydrops is the result of severe anemia and perhaps also myocarditis, both of which contribute to congestive heart failure. Thrombocytopenia may accompany severe anemia. the United States,7 the estimated risk of transplacental infection among women who are infected with parvovirus B19 during pregnancy is 30 percent, with a 5 to 9 percent risk of fetal loss. Infection during the second trimester poses the greatest risk of hydrops fetalis Parvovirus B19 probably accounts for 10 to 20 percent of all cases of nonimmune hydrops fetalis. Approximately 8 percent of intrauterine fetal deaths were blamed on parvovirus B19 in a Swedish survey. The risk of infection is highest in epidemic years and is correlated with the extent of contact the pregnant woman had with children.

Most parvovirus B19 infections during pregnancy do not lead to loss of the fetus. The few reported cases of developmental anomalies in the eyes or nervous system of infants with in utero exposure may be coincidental. However, severe anemia at birth with bone marrow morphologic features that are consistent with constitutional pure red-cell aplasia (Diamond–Blackfan anemia) or congenital dyserythropoietic anemia may be due to transplacental transmission of parvovirus B19 infection.76

Immunity Humoral Pathophysiology The only known natural host cell of parvovirus B19 is the human erythroid progenitor Small amounts of parvovirus B19 dramatically inhibit colony formation by early and especially by late erythroid progenitors without affecting myeloid colony Globoside, a neutral glycolipid that acts as a cellular receptor, accounts for the tropism of the virus for erythroid cells. The presence of globoside in the placenta and in fetal myocardium — mainly on the surface of erythroid precursors and red cells but also on some megakaryocytes and endothelial cells — is consistent with the clinical effects of parvovirus B19 infection.

Dx serologic and DNA tests propagating the virus in standard tissue culture is difficult IgM antibodies are detected in almost all cases of fifth disease at the time of presentation, and they appear within a few days after the onset of transient aplastic crisis; these antibodies persist for two to three months after acute infection DNA assays are required to diagnose persistent infection, since antibody production is absent or minimal. Parvovirus DNA can also be found in serum early in the course of a transient aplastic crisis. Virus can be detected in amniotic fluid, and both virus and IgM antibodies to parvovirus B19 are detectable in umbilical-cord blood; maternal serum will show seroconversion during pregnancy, but tests for maternal IgM antibodies may be negative at the onset of hydrops fetalis.

Treatment Most cases of parvovirus infection in children and adults do not require specific therapy. Isolation of infected persons is impractical, with the exception of hospitalized patients. Pure red-cell aplasia and the underlying persistent parvovirus B19 infection may be terminated rapidly by discontinuing immunosuppressive therapy, or by instituting antiretroviral drug therapy in patients with AIDS. Commercial immune globulins are a good source of antibodies against parvovirus; Immune globulin therapy can precipitate the rash and joint symptoms of fifth disease. Hydrops fetalis may resolve spontaneously, but intrauterine blood transfusions have been used with apparent success. Chronic arthropathy has been treated symptomatically with antiinflammatory drugs.

Prevention Vaccine Development (The recombinant immunogen) Such a vaccine could prevent transient aplastic crisis in patients with sickle cell disease or other hemolytic anemias and pure red-cell aplasia in some immunodeficient persons, as well as hydrops fetalis, if seronegative women were inoculated early in pregnancy.
