  • Title: Fetal hydrops secondary to human parvovirus infection in early pregnancy.
    Author: Petrikovsky BM, Baker D, Schneider E.
    Journal: Prenat Diagn; 1996 Apr; 16(4):342-4. PubMed ID: 8734809.
    Abstract:
    Parvovirus B19 infection has been associated with fetal anaemia, hydrops, and in some cases demise. Most of the reported cases of fetal hydrops were detected in second-trimester fetuses. We report a series of three cases in which human parvovirus infection was associated with hydropic changes at an earlier gestational age. Spontaneous resolution of hydrops occurred in all fetuses. A greater understanding of the natural history of human parvovirus infection is needed prior to deciding on the mode of therapy (conservative management versus in utero fetal therapy).
