Parvovirus B19 DNAemia in pregnant women in relation to perinatal death: a nested case ‐control study within a large population‐based pregnancy cohort

ConclusionsB19V ‐PCR positivity was high and similar in both cases and controls. In our study B19V‐DNAemia was thus not seen to be associated with fatal outcome of pregnancy. The clinical significance of B19V‐DNA detection during pregnancy is uncertain. Caution is needed when diagnosing a B19V‐infection bas ed only on B19V‐DNAemia.
