Abstract

Fetal hydrops is the abnormal accumulation of fluid in at least 2 fetal compartments. Its origin can be immune or non-immune. Parvovirus B19 is responsible for a significant part of non-immune hydrops cases. The fetal prognosis is poor with high mortality. We present a clinical case of a pregnant woman with a fetus affected by non-immune hydrops secondary to severe anemia after infection with parvovirus B19, managed by intrauterine transfusion.
