Abstract
Introduction Parvovirus B19 (PVB19) is one of several viruses transmissible by blood transfusion. Levels of exposure to PVB19 among HIV-infected voluntary blood donors are comparable to those among HIV-negative controls because, in blood donors, the PVB19 infection is transmitted mainly via the respiratory route. Thus, we hypothesize that the seroprevalence of PVB19 in HIV-positive blood donors is equal to the seroprevalence of PVB19 in HIV-negative blood donors. The objective of this study was to compare the seroprevalence of PVB19 between asymptomatic HIV-positive and HIV-negative blood donors. Methods A random sample of 360 eligible blood donors were firstly examined for HIV antibodies by using ELISA automaton and so were categorized as HIV-positive donors and HIV-negative donors. Then the two categories of donors were examined for PVB19 IgG and IgM by using ELISA kits. The seroprevalence of PVB19 in HIV-positive donors was compared to that of HIV-negative donors by using chi-square test or Fisher's exact test. All statistical analyzes were performed with SPSS 21. Results The prevalences of PVB19 IgG and IgM in HIV-positive blood donors were 92.1% (35 of 38) and 44.7% (17 of 38), respectively and those in control group were 89.1% (287 of 322) and 46.3% (149 of 322), respectively. But for both IgG and IgM the difference was not statistically significant (p > 0.05). Conclusion This research confirms our hypothesis: the seroprevalence of PVB19 in HIV-positive blood donors is equal to the seroprevalence of PVB19 in HIV-negative blood donors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Trans-placental transmission of parvovirus B19 during pregnancy can causes adverse outcomes. Regarding its importance in prenatal care, we decided to study prevalence of parvovirus B19 infection among pregnant woman in Ardabil, Iran. MATERIALS AND METHODS In a community based study with a cluster sampling, 350 pregnant women that attended in health care centers in Ardabil were selected. Serum samples were collected and Anti-B19 specific IgG was detected using commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (Euroimmune Elisa kit, Germany). Furthermore, a questionnaire filled for all participants during samples collection. RESULTS 64.6% (226/350) of participants were Ardabil citizen and the rest were from rural area (124/350). Anti-B19-specific IgG antibody was detected in 69.1% of pregnant women (242/350). Participants' ages ranged from 15 to 34 years with average of 23 years. According to our study, seroprevalence of IgG antibodies had positive significant correlation with the participants' age (r=0.268) but there were no significant relations between B19 seropositivity and living area, family member, number of commensals, number of living children, and the amount of hemoglobin (p>0.05). CONCLUSION Approximately, one-third of the participants were at risk of primary B19 infection. Therefore, health education of pregnant women and screening of infected pregnant women is recommended to prevent fetal complications.

Abstract
The changes in immune response that occur with age play a significant role in disease presentation and patient management. Evolution of the innate and adaptive immune systems throughout life, influenced partly by hormonal changes associated with puberty, plays a role in the differences between pediatric and adult response to disease. We review a series of manifestations of dermatologic infectious diseases spanning bacterial, viral, and fungal origins that can be seen in both pediatric and adult age groups and highlight similarities and differences in presentation and disease course. Therapeutic options are also discussed for these infectious diseases, with particular attention to variations in management between these population subgroups, given differences in pharmacokinetics and side effect profiles.

Abstract
The 4th Haemophilia Global Summit was held in Potsdam, Germany, in September 2013 and brought together an international faculty of haemophilia experts and delegates from multidisciplinary backgrounds. The programme was designed by an independent Scientific Steering Committee of haemophilia experts and explored global perspectives in haemophilia care, discussing practical approaches to the optimal management of haemophilia now and in the future. The topics outlined in this supplement were selected by the Scientific Steering Committee for their relevance and potential to influence haemophilia care globally. In this supplement from the meeting, Jan Astermark reviews current understanding of risk factors for the development of inhibitory antibodies and discusses whether this risk can be modulated and minimized. Factors key to the improvement of joint health in people with haemophilia are explored, with Carlo Martinoli and Víctor Jiménez-Yuste discussing the utility of ultrasound for the early detection of haemophilic arthropathy. Other aspects of care necessary for the prevention and management of joint disease in people with haemophilia are outlined by Thomas Hilberg and Sébastian Lobet, who highlight the therapeutic benefits of physiotherapy and sports therapy. Riitta Lassila and Carlo-Federico Perno describe current knowledge surrounding the risk of transmission of infectious agents via clotting factor concentrates. Finally, different types of extended half-life technology are evaluated by Mike Laffan, with a focus on the practicalities and challenges associated with these products.

Abstract
Background. Parvovirus B19 infects children and adults, often causing erythema infectiosum, polyarthritis, but also aplastic crisis in patients with chronic haemolytic anaemia, rash, fever and fetal hydrops or fetal death. This study aims at the detection of acute parvovirus B19 infections during 2006-2009 in northern Greece on epidemiological and clinical aspect.Material and methods. Specimens were obtained from 63 patients, who addressed to hospitals, suspected for acute parvovirus B19 infection (17 in 2006, 29 in 2007, 10 in 2008 and 7 in 2009). Thirty (47.6%) were children (one day - 15 years old) and 33 (52.4%) were adults (16-65 years old). The infection was shown by PCR in whole blood and/or pleural fluid and supported by detection of specific IgM antibodies in the patients' blood serum, which was performed by ELISA.Results. Twenty (31.7%) out of the 63 specimens were found to be positive: 3/17 (17.6 %) in 2006, 16/29 (55.2 %) in 2007, none in 2008 and 1/7 (14.3%) in 2009, p=0.0002. Positive children were found 10/30 (33.3%) and positive adults 10/33 (30.3%). Specific IgM antibodies were detected in all 20 positive patients. Children developed hematological disorders, mainly types of anemia (6 cases), hydrothorax/ascites (2 cases), arthritis (1 case), and liver transplant rejection (1 case). Adults were presented with pregnancy complications (2 cases), arthralgia/arthritis (4 cases), febrile syndromes (3 cases) and atypical rash (1 case).Conclusions. In conclusion, an annual variation in the circulation of parvovirus B19 was noticed, presenting an increase of acute infections in northern Greece during 2007. Regarding serious cases, although children and adults seemed equally affected, differences in clinical manifestations were observed between them, with hematological dysfunctions predominant in childhood.

Abstract
Several infections in adults warrant special consideration in pregnant women given the potential fetal consequences. Among these is parvovirus B19 deserves special attention since the harmful effects on the pregnant woman and fetus. It can then cause fetal anemia, non-immune fetal hydrops and fetal death. Among cases with fetal demise, B19 is foundin significant numbers, especially in the second andthird trimesters of pregnancy. There is no specific treatment or prophylaxis available against B19 infection, but counseling of non-immune mothers and active monitoring of confirmed maternal infections with intervention to correct fetal anemia is likely to decrease mortality.

Abstract
After a steep monotone rise with age, the seroprevalence profiles for human parvovirus B19 (PVB19) display a decrease or plateau between the ages of 20 and 40, in each of 5 European countries. We investigate whether this phenomenon is induced by waning antibodies for PVB19 and, if this is the case, whether secondary infections are plausible, or whether boosting may occur. Several immunological scenarios are tested for PVB19 by fitting different compartmental dynamic transmission models to serological data using data on social contact patterns. The social contact approach has already been shown informative to estimate transmission rates and the basic reproduction number for infections transmitted predominantly through nonsexual social contacts. Our results show that for 4 countries, model selection criteria favor the scenarios allowing for waning immunity at an age-specific rate over the assumption of lifelong immunity, assuming that the transmission rates are directly proportional to the contact rates. Different views on the evolution of the immune response to PVB19 infection lead to altered estimates of the age-specific force of infection and the basic reproduction number. The scenarios which allow for multiple infections during one lifetime predict a higher frequency of PVB19 infection in pregnant women and of associated fetal deaths. When prevaccination serological data are available, the framework developed in this paper could prove worthwhile to investigate these different scenarios for other infections as well, such as cytomegalovirus.

Abstract
A investigação de 1.107 casos de doenças exantemáticas em Manaus permitiu a identificação dos primeiros 47 casos de parvovírus humano B19 na cidade. O parvovírus B19 foi caracterizado por uma combinação de sinais e sintomas como febre, cefaléia, artralgia, mialgia e exantema. A freqüência de exantema foi maior em indivíduos menores de quinze anos e, no adulto, prevaleceram a febre e artropatias. O maior número de casos foi registrado em 1999. Quanto à faixa etária, nos menores de 15 anos, predominou o sexo masculino e, entre os adultos, o feminino. Este estudo, portanto, ressalta a necessidade de se elucidar a causa de doenças exantemáticas que ocorrem no Estado do Amazonas e indica que estudos são necessários, no que concerne à atividade viral.

Abstract
The COBAS AmpliPrep instrument (Roche Diagnostics GmbH, D-68305 Mannheim, Germany) automates the entire sample preparation process of nucleic acid isolation from serum or plasma for polymerase chain reaction analysis. We report the analytical performance of the LightCycler Parvovirus B19 Quantification Kit (Roche Diagnostics) using nucleic acids isolated with the COBAS AmpliPrep instrument. Nucleic acids were extracted using the Total Nucleic Acid Isolation Kit (Roche Diagnostics) and amplified with the LightCycler Parvovirus B19 Quantification Kit. The kit combination processes 72 samples per 8-hour shift. The lower detection limit is 234 IU/ml at a 95% hit-rate, linear range approximately 10(4)-10(10) IU/ml, and overall precision 16 to 40%. Relative sensitivity and specificity in routine samples from pregnant women are 100% and 93%, respectively. Identification of a persistent parvovirus B19-infected individual by the polymerase chain reaction among 51 anti-parvovirus B19 IgM-negative samples underlines the importance of additional nucleic acid testing in pregnancy and its superiority to serology in identifying the risk of parvovirus B19 transmission via blood or blood products. Combination of the Total Nucleic Acid Isolation Kit on the COBAS AmpliPrep instrument with the LightCycler Parvovirus B19 Quantification Kit provides a reliable and time-saving tool for sensitive and accurate detection of parvovirus B19 DNA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To report on B19 infection management and chemotherapy schedule consequences in five children treated for acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL). PATIENTS AND METHODS Between May 2001 and February 2002, five patients between 4 and 12 years of age, receiving maintenance chemotherapy for ALL, presented with symptoms suggesting B19 infection (pallor, fatigue, petechiae and pancytopenia in four patients; generalized rash in two patients; acute hepatitis in one patient). Qualitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) on peripheral blood was used for diagnosis and follow-up of infection; quantitative PCR was used for viral load measurement. Intravenous nonspecific high-dose immunoglobulin therapy was administered until PCR was negative. RESULTS Qualitative B19 DNA was found in the peripheral blood of all patients, confirming the infection. Viral load at diagnosis ranged from 10 to 10 particles/mL blood. B19 DNA was detectable in four patients at 45, 21, 40, and 44 weeks, respectively. Chemotherapy was delayed in all patients. No clear benefit of intravenous immunoglobulin was noted. CONCLUSIONS Infection with B19 is rarely reported in patients with ALL, but it should be suspected when unexplained pancytopenia occurs during chemotherapy. Persistent B19 infection remains a challenge in the management of patients receiving maintenance chemotherapy for ALL, as no specific therapy such as a specific immunoglobulin or vaccine exists. The role of viral load measurement needs to be established in terms of its use in follow-up and evaluation of the therapeutic response.

Abstract
Human parvovirus B19 (HPV) has been shown to be involved in the pathogenesis of various connective tissue and autoimmune diseases. In order to gain more information on HPV possible role in these diseases, we have investigated some immune responses in patients with acute HPV infection, mainly the secretion of the proinflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor (TNF)alpha and it's antagonist--the soluble TNF receptor (sTNFR) p75. Thirteen children with acute HPV infection and 13 healthy volunteers were investigated for the presence of autoantibodies, lymphocyte subpopulation counts, levels of total immunoglobulins, IgG subclasses and complement. The levels of TNFalpha and sTNFR p75 were determined in serum and conditioned medium (CM) from unstimulated and LPS stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) cultures. There was no difference between patients and controls regarding autoantibodies, lymphocytes, immunoglobulins, IgG subclasses and complement. A significant imbalance between TNFalpha and sTNFR p75 was found in the patients group. TNFalpha concentrations were significantly higher both in sera and in CM from the patients as compared with the controls. The levels of sTNFR concentrations were either similar (in sera) or significantly lower (in CM) in the patients compared with the controls. The TNF index, representing the biologically available TNFalpha, was significantly higher in patient's sera and CMs. In view of these results, it is conceivable that infection with human HPV in otherwise healthy children may lead to a proinflammatory state. The presence of high levels of biologically available TNFalpha, in susceptible individuals, may in turn play a role in the pathogenesis of systemic autoimmune diseases in HPV infected individuals.

Abstract
Although transfusion of blood and blood products is often of life-saving benefit for the many patients who receive transfusions every year, it is not without considerable risk. Nurses need to be aware of these risks so that they can respond to patient anxiety about transfusion. This article outlines risks associated with transfusion and the measures taken to minimize them. Attention will be focused principally on the two most significant risks: transmission of serious blood-borne infection and the potentially fatal acute immune haemolytic reaction that can occur if patients receive incompatible red cells. Other significant adverse effects will be discussed briefly. Recent initiative aimed at monitoring the incidence of these adverse effects and increasing the safety of blood transfusion will be discussed, with special emphasis on the nurse's role in the transfusion process.

Abstract
Recent studies have suggested a pathogenic role of human parvovirus B19 (B19) in the development of acute fulminant liver failure in children. The hypothesis was based on the detection of B19 DNA in 8 of 10 explanted livers of children requiring liver transplantation. In the present study, explanted livers from 43 adults selected at random undergoing orthotopic liver transplantation for various reasons were examined. Pre-transplant sera were available from 40 patients of whom 35 (88%) were anti-B19 IgG-seropositive. All but one serum were negative for anti-B19 IgM antibody. By polymerase chain reaction, B19 DNA was detected in the livers of 15/35 (43%) anti-B19 IgG-positive patients, in 2/3 livers of patients with unknown anti-B19 antibody status, and in the initial transplant of an anti-B19 IgG-positive patient who underwent liver retransplantation, and whose own liver was negative for B19 DNA. In a second study group, liver and bone marrow samples from 23 autopsied adults selected at random were tested. Serum specimens were available from 22 individuals, of whom 17 (77%) were anti-B19 IgG-seropositive. All sera were negative for anti-B19 IgM antibody. B19 DNA was detected in the livers of 4/17 (24%) anti-B19 IgG-positive individuals, three of whom had also B19 DNA in their bone marrow. This is the first report demonstrating that B19 DNA is frequently present in livers of anti-B19 seropositive adults suggesting persistence of B19 in the liver. Further studies are needed to address whether B19 is an innocent bystander in the liver or whether the presence of B19 in liver is of biological and clinical significance.

Abstract
Parvovirus B19 infects predominantly erythroid cells, leading to transient inhibition of erythropoiesis. Immunocompromised patients may be unable to produce neutralizing antibodies and may develop severe chronic anemia. Epidemiological studies done on Niterói population showed that B19 infection occurs periodically in late spring and summer. We report a study from 55 HIV infected patients attending an infectious diseases outpatient clinic in this city during a 5-month period in which B19 circulation was well documented. All patients were under anti-retroviral therapy. No anti-B19 IgM was found, but a high prevalence of IgG anti-B19 (91%) was observed. In six patients, B19 DNA was found by dot-blot hybridization techniques, but this was not confirmed by PCR. None of these 6 patients manifested anemia and only one had CD4 cell count below 200 x 10(7)/L. We conclude that persistent infection causing anemia is an infrequent finding in our HIV positive patients under drug therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Aplastic anemia is a rare but well-recognized complication of acute hepatitis and acute liver failure. The cause is unknown, and the condition is fatal without bone marrow recovery. Treatment includes immunosuppression regimens or bone marrow transplantation. The purpose of this study was to investigate the incidence, cause, treatment, and outcomes of this disorder in children. METHODS Retrospective chart review of 75 patients with acute liver failure in a major pediatric liver center. RESULTS Eight patients had evidence of bone marrow failure. Of those, six had aplastic anemia, and two had transient bone marrow suppression. There were five boys, median age 57 months (range, 36-132 months). Two had parvovirus B19, six had non-A, non-B, non-C hepatitis. Five underwent liver transplantation: auxiliary in one, orthotopic in four. The interval between initial symptoms and development of aplastic anemia and/or bone marrow suppression was 21 to 99 days (median, 39 days). Four patients with aplastic anemia received intravenous antithymocyte globulin (ATG) or antilymphocyte globulin (ALG). Median recovery period of granulopoiesis was 62 days (range, 27-115 days). Two made a full recovery, one had myelodysplasia, and one with unresponsive disease died of septic complications. Four did not receive ATG/ALG, two had aplastic anemia, and two had bone marrow suppression. Three underwent liver transplantation, and all four resumed granulopoiesis. One child who underwent liver transplantation died of sepsis with chronic rejection. Median recovery of granulopoiesis was 99 days (range, 20-153 days). CONCLUSIONS Bone marrow failure occurs in 10.7% of children with acute liver failure. It sometimes occurs in association with non-A, non-B, non-C hepatitis and parvovirus B19 infection. Treatment with ATG/ALG is successful and is well tolerated in most cases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To estimate the incidence of human parvovirus B19 among pregnant women before and during an epidemic, to elucidate possible sociodemographic and medical risk factors during pregnancy and to estimate the association between parvovirus B19 infection and negative pregnancy outcome. DESIGN Prospective study among pregnant women followed from their first antenatal visit before 24 full weeks of gestation until delivery. SETTING Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Odense University Hospital, Denmark, November 1992 to February 1994. METHODS 3,596 pregnant women were invited to participate. The women were examined at first antenatal visit in the period from November 1992 to February 1994 and at delivery. The last delivery was in August 1994 and samples were thus collected before and during a large parvovirus B19 epidemic in Denmark January to September 1994. A blood sample for parvovirus B19 serology was taken at enrollment and from the umbilical cord at delivery. Three questionnaires were completed during 2nd and 3rd trimesters and a registration form at delivery. In total, 3,174 (87.6%) were enrolled and 79.5% completed the study. RESULTS The prevalence of B19 IgG seropositivity at the first antenatal visit before 24 full weeks of gestation was 66% . The cumulative prevalence proportion of acute parvovirus B19 infection during pregnancy among IgG negative women was found to be 10.3% (IgM seropositivity and/or IgG seroconversion). The IgG seroconversion incidence increased significantly from 1.0% to 13.5% among 932 seronegative pregnant women before and during the epidemic, respectively (P < 0.001). Independent risk factors related to increased risk of B19 infection during pregnancy, adjusted for other sociodemographic and medical factors, were: children at home (adjusted OR 2.1, 95% CI 1.3-3.2); serious medical disease (adjusted OR 3.0, 95% CI 1.0-8.5); and a stressful job (adjusted OR 1.8, 95% CI 1.0-3.3). Parvovirus B 19 IgM seropositivity was associated with events of late spontaneous abortions and stillbirths (crude OR 9.9; 95% CI 3.3-29.4). CONCLUSION Before and during an epidemic of acute B19 infection incidences were measured among pregnant women to be 1.0% and 13.5%, respectively. Three factors, significantly increasing the risk of acute B19, were identified as: having children at home; suffering from serious medical diseases; and having a stressful job. IgM positivity for parvovirus B19 was associated with negative outcome of pregnancy.

Abstract
Parvovirus B19 has been associated with different diseases. However, hepatic involvement has rarely been reported in adult patients with parvovirus B19 infection. Herein, we report two adult patients with hepatic dysfunction associated with acute parvovirus B19 infection. We believe that hepatic involvement in the setting of parvovirus B19 infection is more common than suspected, and that antibodies against this agent should be routinely measured in patients with hepatic dysfunction of unclear etiology.

Abstract
Infection with parvovirus B19 during pregnancy is known to be associated with various fetal damage, such as aplastic anemia and hydrops fetalis. Our objective was to study the seroprevalence of parvovirus B19 in the obstetric population in Kuwait and to compare this with that in the adult population in other regions. Blood samples from 1047 pregnant women were used in this prospective study. Information regarding patient's age, parity, nationality and symptoms was obtained at the time of collection of the sample. Blood was tested for IgG and IgM antibodies specific for parvovirus B19 using the ELISA technique. The overall prevalence for IgG and IgM was 53.3 and 2.2%, respectively. IgG seropositivity was higher in non-Kuwaiti women, while IgM antibodies was more frequent in Kuwaiti women. A total of 17.4% of the acutely infected patients were symptomatic. Prevalence of parvovirus B19 infection in Kuwait is comparable with that in the other countries.

Abstract
A freqüência de manifestações articulares foi avaliada em 251 pacientes com diagnóstico clínico e laboratorial (detecção de IgM por ensaio imunoenzimático) de virose exantemática. As artropatias (artralgia e/ou artrite) foram mais observadas nos casos de dengue (49%) e de rubéola (38,2%) do que naqueles com parvovirose humana (30%) e sarampo (28,1%). Com exceção do sarampo, as artropatias predominaram nos adultos (315 anos de idade), sendo tal diferença estatisticamente significativa. A ocorrência maior de artropatias em adultos foi mais evidente nos pacientes com parvovirose (75%), rubéola (65%) e dengue (57,7%) do que naqueles com sarampo (31%). As queixas articulares também predominaram nos pacientes do sexo feminino para todas as viroses avaliadas. Os resultados encontrados demonstram o freqüente acometimento articular nas doenças estudadas, e indicam a necessidade de comprovação laboratorial para o diagnóstico diferencial entre elas.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Aims of this study were to determine the IgG and IgM seropositivity to parvovirus B19 during the three trimesters of pregnancy. METHODS Initially, a total of 1,047 pregnant women were included in a prospective study. Blood samples were obtained from 343, 406 and 298 cases in the first, second and third trimesters, respectively. To study the incidence of seroconversion, a second sample of blood was obtained 2-4 weeks later from the first 100 cases, who were IgG and IgM negative in the first trimester. RESULTS The seroprevalence of parvovirus B19 IgG and IgM was 53.3% and 2.2%, respectively. The incidence of seroconversion was 16.5%. The rate of fetal loss was 15.4% in patients with acute infection, all of which occurred in the first two trimesters. CONCLUSIONS The percentage of IgG positive cases is significantly higher in first and second trimesters compared to the third trimester. The seroconversion rate was 16.5%.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The cause of fulminant hepatitis (FH) in children is unexplained in up to 50% of cases. We report parvovirus B19 as an agent associated with FH in children and compare clinical characteristics of these patients with those of age-matched patients with FH of other origin. METHODS 45 patients presented with FH. No cause was apparent in 21 patients. Parvovirus B19 genome was retrospectively sought by PCR in serum collected at admission in 41 patients. FINDINGS Parvovirus B19 genome was detected in serum from four of 21 patients with unexplained FH (four of 11 younger than 5 years). No B19 DNA was detected in serum from patients with other types of FH or from 82 patients with biliary atresia. Parvovirus B19 IgM was detected in one of the four patients. Patients with parvovirus B19 infection had significantly lower bilirubin concentrations than age-matched patients with FH due to hepatitis A (nine) or other causes (nine) (poisoning with amanita excluded). All patients with parvovirus B19 survived without orthotopic liver transplantation, with restoration of normal liver function within 17 days. INTERPRETATION In patients younger than 5 years with FH of unexplained origin, evidence of acute parvovirus B19 was associated with a distinct clinical pattern. In particular, low bilirubin concentrations and rapid recovery of liver function without transplantation were distinctive features.

Abstract
Parvovirus B19 is the viral agent that causes the childhood exanthum erythema infectiosum, or fifth disease. Approximately 50% of pregnant women are seropositive for this agent and thus immune to primary infection. However, acute infection may develop in seronegative pregnant women exposed to B19. Acute B19 infections during pregnancy have been associated with miscarriage and hydrops fetalis. This latter condition is amenable to fetal therapy via intrauterine transfusion.

Abstract
The serological and virological course of parvovirus B19 infection was followed in 14 women who suffered symptomatic or subclinical acute infection during pregnancy. Serial serum samples from the patients were tested for IgG and IgM antibodies and the levels of parvovirus B19 DNA were monitored using a semi-quantitative PCR assay. In addition, the outcome of the pregnancies was documented by clinical information and by testing cord blood for parvovirus B19 specific antibodies as well as for parvovirus B19 DNA by PCR. Levels of IgG antibodies rose steadily within 2 months of infection and in some cases began to decline at the end of pregnancy. IgM antibodies were usually detected for at least 2 months and persisted for as long as 9 months in one case. Viral DNA was detectable for at least 8 weeks following infection and semi-quantitative analysis revealed a gradual reduction in virus load during the viraemic phase of infection. There were no apparent differences in the course of antibody development and duration of viraemia in symptomatic versus subclinical infections.

Abstract
A model system for perinatal transmission of viral infections was developed and transport of infectious virus particles through fetal membranes was investigated. Viruses of different families known to cause serious intrauterine infections were selected, including relevant and model viruses: the DNA-viruses HSV-1 and -2 as well as the animal herpes viruses BHV-1 and SHV-1, the RNA-virus BVDV as a model for hepatitis C virus, HIV-1 and -2, and PPV as a model for parvovirus B19. Migration of infectious virus from the maternal to the fetal side of the membrane could be detected as early as 20 min after the start of incubation. A peak of virus migration was observed after 1-2 hr. 0.02-1% of HSV-1 and 0.03-0.2% of HSV-2 were transported from the maternal side of the membrane to the fetal side. Only 0.01% of PPV migrated to the fetal side, whereas no transport of BVDV was observed. HIV-1 (1.4%) and HIV-2 (0.8%) seemed to be transported at higher rates. The concept of an active transport of infectious virus is compatible with the kinetics of penetration of the fetal membrane. The question of whether different receptors for the individual viruses on the cellular surface account for differences in virus transport will require further investigation. The fetal membrane acts as a protective barrier for the fetus, reducing greatly infectious titers or even preventing completely penetration of virus.

Abstract
Human parvovirus B19 infection in adults shows some clinical features similar to those found in autoimmune connective tissue diseases. To better clarify the relationship between viral infection and autoimmunity, we have evaluated the ability of anti-parvovirus antibodies to specifically recognize autoantigens in ten patients with chronic symmetric arthritis resembling rheumatoid arthritis or with recurrent episodes of arthritis and cutaneous manifestations and persistence of specific IgM antibodies against B19 parvovirus. We synthetized a 24-amino acid immunodominant peptide corresponding to a part of the virus protein 1 and virus protein 2 overlapping region. The peptide has been used to test patients' sera at different time points with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and to purify anti-virus antibodies by affinity chromatography on a peptide-Sepharose column. Eluted immunoglobulins recognized the B19 peptide in both direct and competitive ELISA. Affinity-purified anti-parvovirus antibodies were then tested on a panel of autoantigens including human keratin, collagen type II, thyreoglobulin, single-strand (ss)DNA, cardiolipin and ribonucleoprotein antigen Sm. Eluted antibodies specifically recognized keratin, collagen type II, ssDNA and cardiolipin. Autoantibody activity was not detected in the immunoglobulin fraction after complete removal of anti-peptide antibodies and in antibodies eluted from normal donors. Epstein-Barr virus-transformed cell clones obtained from two subjects produced antibodies which simultaneously recognize the viral peptide and several autoantigens. To further confirm the role of the virus in inducing an autoantibody response, eight BALB/c mice were immunized with the viral peptide coupled to a carrier protein. Autoantibody activity against keratin, collagen II, cardiolipin and ssDNA was detected in six of the eight mice which developed a strong anti-virus response. Together, these data indicate that B19 parvovirus may be linked to the induction of an autoimmune response.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To estimate more precisely the risk of fetal loss and congenital abnormalities after maternal parvovirus B19 infection, and to assess the long term outcome for surviving infants. DESIGN Prospective cohort study of pregnant women with confirmed B19 infection with follow up of the surviving infants. The rate of fetal loss in the study cohort was compared with that in pregnant women with varicella. SETTING Cases reported by laboratories in England and Wales between 1985-1988 and 1992-1995. SAMPLE Four hundred and twenty-seven pregnant women with B19 infection and 367 surviving infants of whom 129 were followed up at 7-10 years of age. METHODS Questionnaires to obstetricians and general practitioners on outcome of pregnancy and health of surviving infants. Maternal infection confirmed by B19-specific IgM assay and/or IgG seroconversion. RESULTS The excess rate of fetal loss in women with B19 infection was confined to the first 20 weeks of gestation and averaged 9%. Seven cases of fetal hydrops followed maternal infections between 9 and 20 weeks of gestation (observed risk 2.9%, 95% CI 1.2-5.9). No abnormalities attributable to B19 infection were found at birth in surviving infants (observed risk 0%, upper 95% CI 0.86%). No late effects were found at 7-10 years. CONCLUSIONS Around 1 in 10 women infected before 20 weeks of gestation will suffer a fetal loss due to B19. The risk of an adverse outcome of pregnancy after this stage is remote. Infected women can be reassured that the maximum possible risk of a congenital abnormality due to B19 is under 1% and that long term development will be normal.

Abstract
Serious anaemia can be induced by human parvovirus B19 (HPV) infection in immuno-compromised patients or subjects with an haemolytic disorder. Routine inactivation procedures are insufficient to neutralize the virus, but screening for HPV is an effective means to avoid transmission by transfusion of blood components. In the present study, we have compared for the first time the IgG and IgM seroprevalence in a North African (Tunisian) and Western European (Belgian) population of blood donors. The prevalence of HPV-specific IgM was less than 2% in both populations, pointing to the absence of an epidemic. The prevalence HPV IgG was significantly (p < 0.01) higher in Belgium (74%) than in Tunisia (65%), without any relationship with age or sex. This finding may suggest a south-north gradient of this infectious disease. Since the presence or absence of HPV-specific antibodies does not preclude transfusional transmission, screening for the virus itself should be done to avoid iatrogenic infection in HPV-naive subjects at risk. In view of the different transfusion policies in Belgium and Tunisia, a strategy for each of both countries is proposed.

Abstract
Human parvovirus B19 is a small DNA virus that can cause a number of diseases, notably erythema infectiosum in children, and aplastic crisis in patients with chronic haemolytic disorders. With the availability of serological tests for parvovirus infection, much is known about the prevalence of this virus in the Western population. However, there have not been any data on the epidemiological pattern of parvovirus B19 infection in Hong Kong and its surrounding region. In this report we have studied the sero-prevalence of parvovirus B19 in Hong Kong in 1983 and 1993, and were able to show a low incidence of parvovirus infection in the intervening 10 years, leading to a shift in the prevalence rate of parvovirus infection in the general population. From 1991 to 1996, of 276 patients presenting with illness which might have been caused by B19, only 2.5% were positive for IgM and 19.6% for IgG anti-B19. The prevalence of IgG anti-B19 among patients with thalassaemia major requiring frequent blood transfusion in 1995 was similar to those in the same age group in the general population, substantiating the observation that B19 infection was not common in Hong Kong in recent years.

Abstract
On the basis of the results of a collaborative study the Expert Committee on Biological Standardisation of the World Health Organisation has issued an international standard (IS) serum for parvovirus B19 IgG antibody (NIBSC 93/724). In this study this IS was used to calibrate an in-house standard serum for reporting the results of parvovirus B19 IgG testing in IU/ml. The IgG titre distribution in 939 pregnant women was determined. These samples were sent to the laboratory for determining the immune status to parvovirus B19 following contact with parvovirus B19 infected individuals or for detecting acute infection in patients with symptoms suggestive of parvovirus B19 infection.
