Abstract

At least 4 different parvoviruses are known to infect humans. Parvovirus B19 (B19V) is the best characterized. It is erythrotropic, replicating in red cell precursors, but unlike many virus infections, the clinical manifestations of infection with parvovirus B19 vary widely with the immunologic and hematologic status of the host, from asymptomatic or a mild ras illness erythema infectiosum or fifth disease in immunocompetent individuals to aplastic crisis and pure red cell aplasia in patients with increased red cell turnover or are immunosuppressed. The other human viruses are the human adeno-associated viruses (Dependoparvoviruses), human bocaviruses (Bocaparvovirus) and human Parv4 a member of the newly recognised Tetraparvovirus genus.
