The CDC has warned of increasing viral activity of parvovirus B19 in the U.S. after unusually high numbers of cases surfaced in Europe earlier this year.
Recent clinical tests showed a spike in positive parvovirus B19 results, particularly in children ages 5 to 9, where cases jumped from 15% to 40% in June.
Complications associated with parvovirus B19 have been reported among pregnant individuals and those with sickle cell disease, highlighting its impact on vulnerable populations.
Parvovirus B19 infection can occur at any time of the year, although it typically shows outbreaks every three to four years.
