PLEASE TAKE NOTE Parvovirus B19 / Slapped Cheek Syndrome We have been informed that there is a possibility that the Parvovirus B19 infection, also known as ‘slapped cheek syndrome’ and ‘fifth disease’, which is a common childhood viral infection is in the area. Since the infection is common during childhood, it is estimated that 40 to 60 percent of women are already immune by the time they become pregnant. In adults, parvovirus causes mild to severe symptoms, including joint pain, fatigue, and body aches. A rash may appear on the face, trunk, arms, and legs. The rash on the face can be intensely red as though the person had been slapped (this is called a ‘slapped cheek’ appearance). The illness generally resolves without treatment. It is difficult to avoid contact with people who are infected with parvovirus because the infection is common in the community and an infected person is contagious before symptoms develop. Frequent hand washing and avoiding shared food, drinks, or utensils can help to prevent infection. If a woman is exposed to parvovirus during pregnancy and has not been tested previously, a blood test for parvovirus is recommended. This will inform the management of the infection as follows: a) A previous infection implies current immunity and no risk or adverse consequences b) No past infection may require a retest in 2-4 weeks to confirm no current infection exists c) A current infection may lead to a referral to a Fetal Medicine Specialist to assist with management of the infection.
