Human parvovirus B19 most commonly causes fifth disease (erythema infectiosum) in children and acute polyarthropathy or rash in
adults. Transmission of infection occurs through respiratory secretions, blood-derived products or vertically from mother to fetus. Intrauterine
infection by parvovirus B19 can subside spontaneously, or it can cause severe fetal morbidity and mortality. Parvovirus B19
infection must not be excluded in all cases of fetal hydrops and chronic erythroblastopenia diagnosed in the neonatal period or during
the early infancy. This is our case report of a patient with congenital aplastic anemia caused by parvovirus B19 infection.
