Abstract
We describe 3 patients with long-term parvovirus B19 infection (defined as detectable parvovirus B19 DNA load for >6 months after the onset of symptoms), which we monitored by serial testing for parvovirus B19 load and the presence of parvovirus B19-specific antibodies in blood. The patients showed recurrent erythema at intervals of several months.
