ABSTRACT
Human parvovirus B19 (B19V) is well known for its infectivity. However, the risk for communicability to previously unexposed healthcare professionals is controversial. We report here a small outbreak of B19V infection among physicians and family members in an adult rheumatology practice that occurred after providing care for a patient with B19V arthropathy. As B19V-infected patients who demonstrate findings of erythema infectiosum or viral arthritis are generally beyond the period of transmissability, strict handwashing and droplet precautions remain imperative when there is contact with potentially pre-symptomatic family members.
