It causes a mild, self-limiting 'slapped-cheek' facial rash with low-grade fever and malaise in immunocompetent children. Parvovirus B 19 also causes a wide range of clinical complications, including thrombocytopenia and neurological manifestations in immunocompromised patients and intrauterine fetal death in primary infected pregnant women. |
