Parvovirus B19 is a small, single-stranded DNA virus that belongs to the Parvoviridae family. It is known to infect humans and is associated with a variety of clinical manifestations. Parvovirus B19 gained significant attention due to its ability to cause a distinctive childhood illness known as Fifth Disease or erythema infectiosum. However, it can also lead to complications in certain populations, particularly in individuals with compromised immune systems and pregnant women.

Parvovirus B19 infection can pose particular challenges for transplant patients, as their immune systems are often compromised due to immunosuppressive medications, making monitoring of these patients with a quantitative PCR assay such as Clonit’s quanty Parvovirus B19 crucial in patient management.
