Re: [ozmidwifery] FW: [C-Aware] parvovirus

[Nicole Carver]

Hi Leah, I haven't had parvovirus myself, but have had a few antenatal clients who have been exposed to it, who had no adverse affects. The baby can apparently have severe anaemia if the mother has an active infection and it passes the placenta. Women exposed to parvovirus have a blood test to see if they are immune or if they have an active infection. It becomes a case for a specialist if she has an active infection, and they monitor the baby very closely, but I don't know the full details of the treatment. It may be similar to the treatment of Rhesus isoimmunisation ? does anyone out there know?

I am really hoping someone has some first hand information they could share.   Thanks in advance. Leah --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.
