Foetal parvovirus syndrome is a foetopathy likely to occur when a pregnant woman is infected by parvovirus B19. In adults, the virus causes a butterfly erythema infectiosum (also called Fifth Disease; 'slapped cheek disease') and flu-like symptoms with symmetric polyarthralgias, which usually do not warrant prenatal diagnosis.
Features include very common findings: Ascites, Hydrops fetalis, Low platelet count (thrombocytopenia), and Low red blood cell count (anemia); and sometimes findings: Abnormality of the eye, Abnormality of vision, Intrauterine growth retardation, and Thickened heart muscle (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy) and others.
