The viral infection caused by Parvovirus B19 which occurs at pregnant women may be reason of many different kinds of complications during pregnancy. Until this time it is not known the frequency of the Parvovirus infections at pregnant women in Poland. We have based our studies on a group of 78 pregnant women with symptoms of a abortion, a premature imminent labour, premature labor and intrauterine death of foetus. In 10 cases (12.8%) we have confirmed a presence of antibodies IgM class antiparvovirus B19 at patients serum.
