Abstract:
We present a case of parvovirus B19 infection in the first trimester, confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in amniotic fluid and cord blood, that caused myocarditis, severe intrauterine growth retardation, and probably glomerulonephritis. Eventually a small-for-dates neonate was born, without any signs of the infection.
