Abstract

Parvovirus B19 (B19V) is the most frequent and best known member of the family Parvoviridae. Besides harmless diseases, such as fifth disease (erythema infectiosum) and inapparent anemia, a B19V infection can have a complicated course in certain children. In the course of a primary infection, children under immunosuppression, children with pre-existing anemic diseases and fetuses, especially in the 2nd trimester, are endangered. Human bocavirus 1 (hBoV1) frequently causes upper and lower respiratory tract infections in infancy. An hBoV2 infection is associated with diarrhea. In rare cases hBoV infections can be accompanied by encephalitis as a complication.
