Non-hydropic intrauterine fetal death more than 5 months after primary parvovirus B19 infection

Keywords: Fetal, infection, intrauterine death, Parvovirus B19

Aims: Clinical follow-up of possible fetal complications associated with maternal parvovirus B19 infection is usually recommended during the 2–3 months after primary infection.

Results: A case of late intrauterine fetal death associated with at least 5 months of maternal parvovirus B19 viremia and in the presence of B19 IgG and IgM is described.

Conclusions: The time of clinical and laboratory follow-up after maternal parvovirus B19 infection may need to be revised if prolonged viremia is more common than previously described.
