Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: Parvovirus B19 infection is an uncommon yet feared cause of fetal complications, particularly anemia and non-immune hydrops. We present the case of a 23-year-old woman who acquired a primary infection during pregnancy; her fetus developed severe anemia that required two intrauterine transfusions, culminating in a favorable neonatal outcome. A literature review is included to contextualize the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
