| parvovirus b19 outbreak in a children's ward. | parvovirus b19 infection can cause severe complications in pregnant women, individuals with haemolytic anaemia, and those who are immunocompromised. in a hospital outbreak of this infection, a balance should be struck between protection of these individuals and the maintenance of medical services. the index case of an outbreak of parvovirus b19 infection among staff and patients of a paediatric ward was not identified. 58 members of staff were screened for b19 markers and 4 of the 6 susceptible ... | 1992 | 1345828 |
| clinical manifestations of human parvovirus b19 in adults. | human parvovirus b19 has been associated with various clinical effects in a number of uncontrolled reports. to define the usual manifestations of b19 infection in adults and the factors that influence them we present a clinicoepidemiological study of an outbreak of b19 infection centered on a junior school. four hundred fifty-three of 475 adults in this community were interviewed and blood was obtained for serological diagnosis. fifty-four cases of recent infection were identified and were hla t ... | 1989 | 2541666 |
| erythema infectiosum in a primary school: investigation of an outbreak in bury. | between january and april 1987, 97 of 302 (32%) children attending a primary school in bury, lancashire, were affected by an exanthematous illness. the duration and extent of the episode caused considerable local interest and anxiety. examination of 6 serum specimens obtained during the subsequent investigation demonstrated evidence of recent human parvovirus b19 infection in 3 children and 1 teacher. no evidence of recent rubella virus infection was found. the investigation of the episode is di ... | 1989 | 2552489 |
| pruritus in parvovirus infection. | an outbreak of slapped cheek syndrome (erythema infectiosum) occurred in chepstow between march and june 1986. about 50 children with the illness were seen in one general practice. during the same period five women in the practice developed arthritis associated with human parvovirus infection and four of them suffered marked pruritus. it is suggested that if pruritus is a feature in any patient with an acute onset arthritis, parvovirus infection should be considered as a possible cause. | 1987 | 2826779 |

| serological survey of virus infection among wild house mice (mus domesticus) in the uk. | the serological prevalence of 13 murine viruses was surveyed among 103 wild-caught and 51 captive-bred house mice (mus domesticus), originating from several trapping locations in northwest england, using blood samples obtained during routine health screening of an established wild mouse colony. a high proportion of recently caught wild mice were seropositive for mouse hepatitis virus (86%), mouse cytomegalovirus (79%), mouse thymic virus (78%), mouse adenovirus (68%), mouse parvovirus (59%) and ... | 2007 | 17430622 |
| spatiotemporal patterns and risks of herd breakdowns in pigs with postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome. | a retrospective cohort study of 116 british pig farms was undertaken to investigate the epidemiological risk factors associated with herd breakdowns with postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (pmws). farmers reported the pmws status of their herd (case definition 1) and, where applicable, when the disease was first suspected and what they observed; they described a prolonged increase in mortality in six to 16-week-old pigs that was not attributable to any disease known to be on their farm. ... | 2007 | 17545645 |
