Parvovirus B19 (slapped cheek syndrome) is a common and usually mild, self-limiting viral illness. Certain populations, such as pregnant women and their unborn babies, those who are immunocompromised or those with underlying haematological conditions, are at increased risk of complications as the virus can affect red blood cell production. In this episode, Dr Kate Chesterman explores the common signs and symptoms in healthy individuals, as well as discussing the investigation and management of those at higher risk of complications.
