Parvovirus B19 PCR

About Test

Parvovirus B19 is the cause of an infection known as "Fifth Disease". This infection affects children primarily and causes a rash on the face, trunk, and limbs. Joint pain and swelling is more common in adults.  Although serologic detection of circulating antibodies (Parvovirus B-19 IgM & IgG) is useful to determine recent exposure to the virus, DNA testing provides the most reliable evidence of a persistent infection.
