Abstract

We examined 67 patients with human parvovirus (HPV) B19 infection to determine their clinical features, complications, and risk of contracting HPVB19 infection during pregnancy. The examination was performed between January of 1999 and December of 2003 at Nippon Medical School Hospital. The patients included 15 males and 52 females. The range of age was from 0 to 60, and the majority of patients were children under 10 and thirty-year-old women. Most of the patients with HPVB19 infection were diagnosed in 2001 and in June. The eruptions were of various types: well-defined erythema on the face and extremities, punctate erythema on the body and extremities, and petechiasis on lower legs. The petechiasis on the lower legs was found in three of 29 children, but not in any adult patients. In this study, 35 cases were women, and 14 of them were pregnant. Intraurterine fetal death occurred in one of them (7.1%). We suggested that it is necessary to carefully follow up patients who are infected with HPVB19 during pregnancy.
