PRENATAL DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF PARVOVIRUS B19. A CLINICAL CASE

Abstract

Parvovirus B19 infection during pregnancy can lead to severe fetal anemia and non-immune hydrops fetalis. Early diagnosis using middle cerebral artery peak systolic velocity (MCA PSV) Doppler screening enables timely detection of anemia and the need for intrauterine transfusion (IUT). In this case, IUT effectively reduced fetal anemia and improved hemodynamic stability. Post-procedure fetal monitoring and induced delivery at term helped prevent complications and ensured a favorable neonatal outcome.
