title: [Parvovirus infections in humans].
abstract: The Human Parvovirus (HPV) like other Parvovirus is a single strand DNA virus with autonomous replication which measures 23mm. Infection with this virus is followed by a non-specific viral syndrome during the prodrome, leading to viremia, which may be followed by arthropathy and/or different kind of rash including the syndrome called erythema infectiosum. It has also been related to an increase in the number of spontaneous abortion in pregnant women with acute infection; and it is the etiology of the aplastic crisis in patients with hemolytic anemias. Many other Parvovirus serologically different from HPV are present in stools and are responsible for acute infectious non bacterial gastroenteritis in people more than 5 years old.
