We describe a case of primary infection by human parvovirus B19 in a 20-year-old woman; it manifested as erythemato-maculo-papular lesions, pharyngotonsillitis, lymphadenopathy, fever, arthralgia and myalgia, asthenia and anorexia. Laboratory tests revealed anaemia, leucopenia, thrombocytopaenia and a rise in some inflammatory indices. Elisa test was positive for anti-human parvovirus B19 IgM. Clinical symptoms spontaneously regressed in 2 weeks. Thirty days after hospital admission all the laboratory tests returned to normal values; furthermore, specific IgM and IgG were detectable.

Abstract
We describe a case of primary infection by human parvovirus B19 in a 20-year-old woman; it manifested as erythemato-maculo-papular lesions, pharyngotonsillitis, lymphadenopathy, fever, arthralgia and myalgia, asthenia and anorexia. Laboratory tests revealed anaemia, leucopenia, thrombocytopaenia and a rise in some inflammatory indices. Elisa test was positive for anti-human parvovirus B19 IgM. Clinical symptoms spontaneously regressed in 2 weeks. Thirty days after hospital admission all the laboratory tests returned to normal values; furthermore, specific IgM and IgG were detectable.
