Human parvovirus B19 in pregnancy.
Parvovirus B19 infection can result in an adverse outcome when acquired during pregnancy. However, in the majority of cases a successful outcome can be anticipated. Public awareness of this condition is essential and obstetricians should be familiar with the options available to them if they are presented with this clinical problem.
