Virus-specific antibodies, class IgG weredetected only in 67% of the examined subjects which indicates that in one third of the women thereis a risk of transplacental infection of the foetus in case of infection with the parvovirus B19 duringpregnancy.

Key words:
parvovirus B19 – risk of transplacental transmission.
