AB Human  parvovirus  (HPV)  B19  was  first  discovered  in  1975  by  Cossart  and  colleagues  while  screening  healthy  blood  bank  donors’  sera.  HPV  B19  is  a  small  (20–25  nm),  single-stranded,  nonenveloped  DNA  virus  of  the  family  Parvoviridae,  genus  Erythrovirus.  It  is  the  infectious  agent  of  a  number  of  clinical  syndromes  (eg,  erythema  infectiosum)  and  can  cause  intrauterine  infection  of  the  fetus  as  well.
