Abstract
During the first half of 1995 there was a regional outbreak of parvovi rus infections (erythema infectiosum) in Styria, Austria. We report on 7 cases of acute parvovirus infection in pregnancy. The ultrasonograp hic examinations showed signs of fetal hydrops in 5 fetuses. In 3 case s percutaneous blood sampling was performed and 2 of the 3 fetuses rec eived intrauterine blood transfusions. Five of the 7 pregnant women de livered healthy newborn at term. Two patients had abortions in the 15t h and 17th week of pregnancy.
