title: Parvovirus B19 caused fetal death: a case report in Thailand.
abstract: This was a case of an intrauterine parvoviral B19 infection resulting in hydrops fetalis and enlarged placenta. Histologically, the virus was found to be in nucleated red cells of the fetus which was confirmed by electron microscopy. Careful placental examination at the gross and microscopic levels yielded the correct diagnosis.
