Abstract
We present a case of parvovirus B19 infection in the first trimester, confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in amniotic fluid and cor d blood, that caused myocarditis, severe intrauterine growth retardati on, and probably glomerulonephritis. Eventually a small-for-dates neon ate was born, without any signs of the infection.
