摘要

Parvovirus B19 infection during pregnancy can result in vertical transmission in 17–33% of cases, potentially leading to severe complications such as fetal anemia or hydrops fetalis. Although intrauterine transfusion can improve survival in severe cases, delayed diagnosis often results in fetal loss. Due to nonspecific symptoms, missed diagnoses are likely underreported. This editorial strongly advocates for a broader assessment of all mothers presenting with flu-like symptoms, recent exposure to infected individuals, or suspicious ultrasound findings to facilitate earlier detection. Proactive maternal screening is crucial to improving outcomes and reducing fetal mortality associated with parvovirus B19 infection.
