Parvoviruses

Viral Infections of Humans

Abstract

At least five 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 rash illness erythema infectiosum or the fifth disease in immunocompetent individuals to transient 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), human Parv4 a member of the newly recognized Tetraparvovirus genus, and the new human protoparvoviruses, bufavirus, tusavirus, and cutavirus.
